'''Vanguard''' was an arcade game of many firsts. It was developed in [[1981]] by [[SNK]], and it was SNK's first color game. It also included a synthesized voice. It was one of the first horizontally scrolling shooters, and the first that allowed the player to fire in four directions independently of the ship's motion. And finally, it's the first game to incorporate the concept of a boss, a final opponent at the end of the game that is more difficult to beat than usual. | '''Vanguard''' was an arcade game of many firsts.
