ESWAT was one of the first Sega arcade games I longplayed, and I still have something of a soft spot for it. It's an evolution of the formula used in Shinobi: a platform-based shoot 'em up with upper and lower play fields, with the shuriken-hurling ninja replaced with a chain-gun toting cybercop.

What made this game particularly cool is the way you don't start out as a member of ESWAT right away. Instead, you have to earn your stripes by busting low-ranking criminals in a trilogy of opening missions, with a final promotion granting you access to the ESWAT division, armoured combat suit, and a series of more deadly missions. It's a progression curve I'd never experienced in an arcade game before, and one of the reasons why I kept feeding coins into the machine; I wanted to see what came next!

    I can't get over that funny walk animation with the free hand shaking. Doesn't even change when he gets the robot suit.

    Sega's answer to Namco's "Rolling Thunder" and Data East's "RoboCop".

    I'd forgotten all about this, thanks for the memories. For some reason I thought you could call a dog, maybe I'm mixing it up with shadow dancer
