Armed Police Batrider

Armed Police Batrider (アームドポリス バトライダー) is a vertically scrolling manic shooter arcade video game developed by Raizing and published by Eighting in 1998.

Batrider contains up to seven stages along with a large number of secrets, which are either unlockable with codes or DIP switch settings, or hidden within the game itself.

In addition to selectable difficulty levels via dipswitch, there are also four player-selectable variants of the game: Armed Police Batrider takes place in the late 2010's.

No measure of law enforcement seemed able to combat the strife and violence, and so a desperate plan was brought forth by GiganTech Cybertronics Corporation.

Therefore, nine fighters—three police, three convicts, and three psychics—have been drafted as "Zero-Cops", riding the BatRider airbikes against the forces invading Manhattan and charging into Zenovia to take down GiganTech's CEO and his ultimate weapon, known only as "Discharge".
