King and Balloon is a fixed shooter that was released by Namco in 1980. It was the first game to feature synthesized voices, but it didn't do very well in the arcades as it was unfortunately released at the same time as Namco's own Pac-Man.

Introduction

In King and Balloon, the player must take control of a cannon who fires at squadrons of descending balloons. Unlike many other fixed shooters, the cannon can be hit and destroyed any number of times - it is the king who must be protected.
