Sqoon gameplay. The player must attempt to destroy facilities like the one shown to rescue humans.
Sqoon is a side-scrolling shooter game published in 1986 by Irem for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was considered to be somewhat obscure, and did not have a big impact on the gaming community.
Plot
Aliens who rule the planet Neptune realize that they have run out of their primary source of nutrition, "man-ham livestock," and decide to invade Earth to feed off the humans. They melt the polar ice caps, causing entire continents to sink under the ocean. The General of the Earth Defense Army begs a pirate called Narikeen to strike back at the aliens with his submarine, Sqoon. Narikeen, being of an evil nature, laughs at the pleas of the general, but reluctantly agrees to exterminate the aliens.Gameplay
The player is given the pink submarine, Sqoon, and must use it to destroy the aliens and rescue captured human survivors while trying to avoid coming into contact with enemies and running out of fuel. To do so, the submarine is equipped with missiles to attack enemies, and an ice ball attack to destroy facilities containing humans. When Sqoon has reached its maximum capacity, the player must discharge survivors onto an island. Powerups are also available, which can upgrade weapons and replenish fuel.External links
