Regulus is a vertical-scrolling shoot-’em-up released by Sega for arcades in 1983. Piloting a futuristic hover tank, you battle across hostile environments like the Mechanical Animal Zone to wipe out enemy forces. The game uses a split combat system that requires managing threats from two different planes simultaneously.
How to Play
As an arcade title, use the Shift or Enter keys to insert a coin and start the game. Use the Arrow keys to pilot your hover tank. The combat relies on a dual-attack control scheme: press Z to fire your main weapon at airborne enemies, and press X to drop bombs on ground-based targets.
Tips
- Ground targets are often stationary or slow-moving, making them easier to bomb preemptively before they become a major threat.
- Keep moving to avoid getting overwhelmed, as focusing too much on bombing the ground can leave you vulnerable to faster airborne enemies.
