Boogie Wings

Boogie Wings (known in Japan as The Great Ragtime Show (ザ・グレイト・ラグタイムショー)) is a horizontally scrolling shooter released as an arcade video game by Data East in 1992.

The game is set around the time of World War I,[1] where the player maneuvers biplanes, automobiles, animals, and various other unidentifiable objects to battle an army of mech-wielding scientists.

The game's graphics are highly detailed, and many of the backgrounds are likened to European towns and cities or World's fair-like scenes.

The vehicles include various animals such as giraffes, elephants, and horses, pogo sticks, bicycles, motorcycles, jeeps, and several types of robots that can hop and shoot missiles.

Rohga: Armor Force was developed and released in Japan by Data East a year prior to Boogie Wings, and the vehicles in Boogie Wings were derived from the gameplay in Rohga: Armor Force, where the player could continue on foot even after their robot was destroyed.
