Vindicators is a top-down shoot 'em up featuring a futuristic tank that must navigate around obstacles and traps while shooting down enemies. The game was originally released for the arcade before receiving a number of home computer conversions and a NES adaptation.

Like many games published by Tengen, Vindicators for the Nintendo Entertainment System was unlicensed by Nintendo. As such, the cartridge was Tengen's proprietary black cartridge, containing a special chip designed to work despite the NES's lockout system which prevented unlicensed games from operating properly.



Story: https://www.giantbomb.com/vindicators/3030-7639/

Vindicators takes place in the year 2525, outside Galaxy TR-15. The mission is to intercept and destroy the invading forces from the evil Tangent Empire by proceeding through multi-level stations, and securing each station by demolishing its control centre, using the SR-88 Strategic Battle Tank.

As "team commanders" of these SR-88 Strategic Battle Tanks, players must traverse the Tangent Empire's 14 space stations equipped with turrets and highly mobile armored tanks that constantly patrol the Tangent's fortifications.
