'''Ordyne''' is a horizontal scrolling [[shooter]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1988]] only in Japan. It runs on Namco System 2 hardware, and was later ported to the [[TurboGrafx-16]] platform in [[1989]]. It was also included on the fourth volume of the [[Namco Museum]] series for the [[Sony PlayStation]] - along with another one of Namco's Japan-exclusive titles, [[Genpei Tōma Den]] (which was renamed to '''The Genji and Heike Clans''' for Western audiences).
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.

The players must take control of the genius scientist Yūichirō Tomari and his Chinese assistant Sunday Chin as they attempt to rescue Tomari's fiancee, Kana Aibara, 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 them will cause crystals to appear that can be collected and exchanged for special weapons, extra lives or even more crystals at the flying store of Miyuki Chan, and by firing marbles at the extendable rotating target of Dream Co., Ltd.

Gameplay[edit]

The players take control of the genius scientist Yūichirō Tomari (泊裕一郎 Tomari Yūichirō?) and his Chinese assistant Sunday Chin (サンデー珍 Sandē Chin?) as they attempt to rescue Tomari's fiancée, Kana Aibara (相原香奈 Aibara Kana?) from the evil 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 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 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.
