About This Retro Game
Ajax features a unique triple-weapon system: a standard shot, a ground-based rolling bomb, and an aerial satellite weapon that circles the player for protection.
The game was notable for its pseudo-3D perspective during certain boss battles, a technical achievement for 1987 arcade hardware.
As one of Konami's lesser-known arcade titles, Ajax has gained cult status among retro gaming enthusiasts for its challenging gameplay and innovative weapon mechanics.
