Zaviga (c) 1984 Data East Corp.

A great vertical shoot'em up game.

You play as a futuristic jet fighter aircraft that can transform into a tank to descend and ascend. The planet is under attack by hordes of shape bugs robotics and other war machines. Your Aircraft are equipped with 2 laser cannons and bombs for a dual attack in air or land. The game scrolls infinitely of the levels are stopping for an occasional fight against a cannon mountain, that you defeat by destroying a glowing weak spot. With each scroll through the game introduces new enemies and obstacles like flying rocks and underwater enemies.
