Rabio Lepus

Hamster Corporation released the game for the PlayStation 2 as part of the Oretachi Gēsen Zoku series in 2006, as well as part of the Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in July 2022. Rabio Lepus is a horizontal-scrolling shooter game. It follows two colorful robotic rabbits named Rabio and Lepus as they battle waves of enemies including golems, metallic cats, and demonic creatures. Rabio and Lepus can unleash an infinite stream of bullets, but powerful missile attacks are finite and must be replenished. When in close contact with enemies or objects, Rabio and Lepus can punch to damage opponents in close range or destroy carrot canisters for extra points. A tanuki power-up allows them to temporarily become invincible and destroy enemies on contact. In Japan, Game Machine listed Rabio Lepus on their November 15, 1987 issue as being the fifth most-popular arcade game for the previous two weeks.
