Publisher: Natsume
Released: 1991
S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team is a shoot-em-up that was released in Europe as Action in New York.
+ Action moves along at breakneck speed (particularly in Stage 3's Astrotube) and there's no noticeable slowdown.+ Level design makes up for the game's short length by merging horizontally and vertically scrolling areas.
+ Secondary weapons offer tactical flexibility, as they can be positioned to circle your character, or fire at specific angles.
+ Phenomenal music and stunningly detailed pixel-art are comparable to other Natsume games like Shatterhand (1991, NES).
- Tough-as-nails, with too much emphasis on unforeseeable cheap hits from enemies that suddenly enter the playfield.
- Artificially increases the challenge by refusing to recharge your health metre after completing a stage.
- Suffers from an inordinate amount of sprite flicker, and your character will often blend in with enemies and their bullets.
