History
Eco Fighters is a 1994 horizontally scrolling shooter developed and published by Capcom as an arcade video game. As suggested by both its titles, the game has an "eco-friendly" theme.
Gameplay
The game is a horizontal shooter, where the player controls a ship with a rotating weapon. This rotating weapon ensures that the ship does not require complex navigation to destroy enemy objects in inconvenient spots, while still needing to avoid enemy projectiles; this makes the game resemble more of a bullet hell game, than most side-scrolling shooters from Capcom.
Development and release
Eco Fighters was developed by the same team from two Mega Man arcade titles, The Power Battle and The Power Fighters.
Capcom re-released Eco Fighters for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2006 as part of the Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 and Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded for the PSP. The game was also playable on the GameTap online service.
