 [![Arcade Archives FORMATION Z](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/arcade-archives-formation-z.jpeg "Arcade Archives FORMATION Z")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/arcade-archives-formation-z.jpeg)“FORMATION Z” is a shooting game released by JALECO in 1984.

Pilot the transforming battle robot “IXPEL” to defeat the mobile enemy base Gezerium.

Switch between aerial and terrain formations and use the pulse laser to take down regular enemies, reserving your big bang attacks for striking down weapons of mass destruction.

The “Arcade Archives” series has faithfully reproduced many classic Arcade masterpieces.

Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores.

Please enjoy the masterpiece that built a generation for video games.
