Viewpoint

About

Viewpoint is a fast-paced shooter where you pilot a spaceship through waves of enemies using a laser cannon that charges for more powerful shots. Players can switch between three special weapons during combat: a sweeping fire wall, a concentrated nova explosion, and a cluster of homing missiles. The game supports one or two players taking turns or teaming up on compatible systems. Released in 1992 by Sammy, the game leans into arcade-style action with straightforward controls and varied attack options. Its mix of cooperative play and competitive hot-seat modes made it a standout on arcades and home consoles like the Neo Geo and Sega Genesis. While not a household name, its simple yet satisfying combat and dual-player flexibility keep it memorable for retro shooter fans.
