Item Description

Few NES games open with a premise as gloriously strange as Sqoon's. Invaders from Neptune have run out of their favorite food, which happens to be humans, so they melt the polar ice caps, sink the continents and start rounding up the survivors. With the world underwater, the Earth Defense Army turns to an unlikely savior: Narikeen, a pirate who reluctantly agrees to take the fight to the aliens in his little submarine, the Sqoon.

What follows is a side-scrolling shooter with a clever survival loop built into it. The Sqoon fires missiles at the alien fleet, and drops ice ball bombs that smash seafloor facilities and free the humans held captive inside. Rescued survivors climb aboard, up to nine at a time, and ferrying a full load to an island refuels the sub and releases power-ups. That fuel matters, because the Sqoon has to be topped up roughly every sixty seconds or you lose a life. Every run becomes a balancing act between blasting enemies, hunting for prisoners and racing back to land before the tank runs dry.

Sqoon was developed by Home Data and published by Irem, arriving in Japan in 1986 and in North America the following year. It never became a household name, and that is a big part of its charm today. Its mix of dark comedy, undersea setting and resource-juggling action makes it feel unlike the space shooters that crowded the NES library.

Sqoon is a wonderful detour into the odder corners of the 8-bit era: a game whose plot sounds like a fever dream and whose fuel-and-rescue rhythm still produces real tension on original hardware. Shooter collectors who think they have seen everything the NES has to offer are in for a delightful surprise.
