Balloon Bomber is a fixed shooter arcade game released by Taito in 1980. The player controls a ship at the bottom of the screen which shoots at balloon-carrying bombs overhead. If a falling bomb hits the bottom of the screen, it makes a crater which cannot be moved past, limiting mobility.

Legacy

The game was re-released in multiple compilations, including Taito Legends 2 for PlayStation 2, Taito Memories Pocket (Japan/Asia), and Taito Legends Power Up (Europe) for the PlayStation Portable.
