Vortex is a 3D shooter game developed by Argonaut Software and released by Electro Brain for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in September 1994.

The player pilots an experimental mech called the Morphing Battle System against the five worlds of the Aki-Do Forces.

The overall concept of Vortex fueled unconfirmed speculation that the project may have been derived from an unreleased game based on Transformers,[3] but in a 2015 interview with Retro Gamer, programmer Michael Wong-Powell confirmed that Vortex and Transformers were entirely separate projects, with the latter being cancelled during development.

Electronic Gaming Monthly's five reviewers remarked that the pace is slow, but complimented the unique concept and high challenge.
