'''Gorf''' is an arcade game released in [[1981]] by [[Midway Games|Midway Mfg.]]. It was the first game in arcades to introduce multiple scenes in one game, even before [[Donkey Kong]]. It is a multiple-mission fixed shooter with five distinct modes of play, essentially making it five games in one. It is also well-known for its use of synthesized speech, a new feature at the time. Midway still owned the rights to publish [[Space Invaders]] and [[Galaxian]] in the United States and was looking for a way to make more money from those titles. Dave Nutting and Jay Fenton designed a game where the player could play through a series of space shooters instead of playing the same concept over and over again. | '''Gorf''' is an arcade game released in [[1981]] by [[Midway Games|Midway Mfg.]].
