Ikari Warriors was one of the very first top-down land-based shooters to grace the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The gameplay in Ikari Warriors is very simple: you take your shirtless, gun-toting, commando-type character and move through the game’s levels while shooting everything that stands in your path.

Ikari Warriors was a great arcade game, and this is a great version of that arcade game.
Graphically, the game is similar to the arcade version, though the difference in screen orientation means that you don't get to see very far ahead of the action, which can lead to some nasty surprises.
On the sound side, Ikari Warriors has good sound effects, but it's missing the arcade version's great music.

 Granny Vinnie Reviews Ikari Warriors for the Atari 7800
Ikari Warriors is an arcade classic that plays very similarly to another infamous 7800 port, Commando.
The only facets to the game that vary are minor, and those include no forced scrolling, the exact feel of the controls (which would be impossible to replicate with standard controllers), and the graphics are weak.
This was a good and bad week for me. On the good side, I finally received Ikari Warriors in the mail, and it was better than I thought it would be.

Ikari Warriors is a conversion of a rather old coin-op from SNK Corp, makers of the Neo-Geo arcade/home console system.
The original coin-op is even harder to find than other systems of the same vintage, because it used rare rotary joysticks (twisting the handle aims your character's gun/grenade arm).
This is a representative screenshot from Ikari Warriors.
