'''Ordyne''' (オーダイン, literally ''Ōdain''), is a horizontal scrolling [[shooter]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1988]] only in Japan; it runs on Namco's System 2 hardware and was later ported to the [[TurboGrafx-16]] platform in [[1989]]. It was also included upon the fourth volume of the [[Namco Museum]] series for the [[Sony PlayStation]] - along with another of Namco's Japan-only titles, [[Genpei Tōma Den]] (which was renamed to '''The Genji and Heike Clans''' for Western audiences). Like the older game, it used a Yamaha YM-2151 FM sound chip (for its songs) but it used a C140 custom sound chip for its sound effects and speech (as opposed to a PSG and DAC); it also featured a cameo from [[Pac-Man]].

It runs on Namco System 2 hardware, and was ported to the [[TurboGrafx-16]] in 1989, with releases in both Japan and North America. The arcade version was also included in ''[[Namco Museum Volume 4]]'' for the [[Sony PlayStation]]. The TurboGrafx-16 version was released on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] on May 7, 2007 in North America and on August 21, 2007 in Japan; it is officially described by Namco as a "comical action shooter". The shopkeeper, Miyuki Chan, also appeared in a taco shop in ''[[Mach Breakers]]'' in 1994 and in a flying loudspeaker-shaped shop in ''[[Project X Zone 2]]'' in 2015.
 
It was released as both an upright Arcade machine and also as a machine in a cocktail configuration.  The game allows two players to play the game simultaneously as the game's two different characters; Yuichiro Tomari and Sunday Chin. Yuichiro pilots the red ship in the game and Sunday pilots a green ship. It features a cameo from [[Pac-Man]] as the "Stock bomber shot". It also features Japanese voice samples.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In Ordyne, players must take control of the genius scientist Yūichirō Tomari and his Chinese assistant Sunday Chin, in their attempt to rescue Tomari's fiancée Kana Aihara from the evil Dr. Kubota and his army of robotic minions; the enemies all follow preset patterns (so as not to make the game confusing for beginners) and killing a group of smaller ones or a larger one will leave crystals behind that can be collected and exchanged for special weapons, extra lives or even more crystals at the "Kūchū IN" run by the blue-haired woman Miyuki Chan, and by firing marbles at the extendable rotating target of that big white-handed robot known as "Dream Co., Ltd." They have a total of seven rounds to get through.
The players take control of the genius scientist {{nihongo|'''Yūichirō Tomari'''|泊裕一郎|Tomari Yūichirō}} and his Chinese assistant {{nihongo|'''Sunday Chin'''|サンデー珍|Sandē Chin}} as they attempt to rescue Tomari's fiancée, {{nihongo|'''Kana Aibara'''|相原香奈|Aibara Kana}} from the evil {{nihongo|'''Dr. Kubota'''|Dr. クボタ|Dokutā Kubota}} and his army of robotic minions. The enemies all follow preset patterns, and killing a group of smaller ones or a larger one leaves crystals behind that can be collected and exchanged for special weapons, extra lives, and even more crystals at the "Kūchū IN" run by the blue-haired woman {{nihongo|'''Miyuki-chan'''|みゆきちゃん|Miyuki Chan}} and by firing out marbles at the extendable rotating target of the big white-handed robot {{nihongo|'''Dream Co., Ltd.'''|夢有限会社|Yūme Yūgengaisha}}. This game has a total of seven rounds, and a boss is fought at the end of each one. One hit will kill Yūichirō and Sunday, unless either of them has the "Stock bomber shot", as Pac-Man and the shield he is generating will protect them from death for one non-projectile hit. They can either earn or buy extra lives.
