Vimana[a] is a vertically scrolling shooter arcade video game developed by Toaplan and published in Japan by Tecmo and Europe in June 1991.

[1][2] It is notable for being one of the few titles by Toaplan that has not received any official port to home consoles as of date and for its unique combination of science fiction with brief Hindu references.

[4] In the game, players assume the role of the titular warriors taking control of powerful ancient space fighter crafts in order to reclaim their home planet by fighting against military machines gone wild.

Vimana is a science fiction-themed vertically scrolling shoot 'em up game where players assume the role of the two titular warriors taking control of powerful ancient space fighter crafts in order to reclaim their planet by fighting against an unknown force as the main objective.

The game hosts a number of hidden bonus secrets to be found, which is crucial for reaching high-scores to obtain extra lives.

The inhabitants plot to reclaim their planet with the aid of the Vimana Warriors: pilots capable of handling ancient but powerful space fighter ships.

[5][9] In September 1991, an album containing music from the title and Teki Paki was co-published exclusively in Japan by Scitron and Pony Canyon, featuring an arranged song from the former composed by Tomizawa.

Early in the game's opening, the take-off sequence features the Vimana ships being energized by two statues resembling the Hindu god Ganesha.

[5][4] In Japan, Game Machine listed Vimana on their July 15, 1991 issue as being the thirteenth most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as Tecmo World Cup '90 and Burning Fight.
