Sidearms Edit Meaning

1.

A coin-opgame released by Capcom/Romstar in 1986. The full title was SidearmsHyperdyne in the U.S. and HyperdyneSidearms in Japan. Sidearms was a very underated and somewhat rare shooter/shmup with a Robo-Tech type theme. The game featured both 1 and 2 player simultaneous action, horizontal and vertical scrolling, several stages ranging from moderate to downright difficult, challenging and sometimes huge bosses, a special power-up that unlocked a dual mecha transformation and other bonus features. The game was ported mostly to computers such as the Atari ST, and Commodore 64as well as the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 and also Sony's PSP in a Capcomcompilation. Sidearms was the second game in a series known as "Jetpack Hero" which started with Section-Z and ended with Forgotten Worlds. They are related only in that they have a similar layout and gameplay; each game in the series has it's own storyline.
