Ordyne (オーダイン Oodain?) 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).
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.
