The island is filled with mystery & danger.

Prehistoric Isle is a shooting game released by SNK in 1989.

As the protagonist heads to Greenhell Island to investigate a series of shipwrecks off the coast of the Bahamas, prehistoric dragons thought to have gone extinct launch a relentless attack.

The option unit equipped to your aircraft can be repositioned to change its attack method into 5 different types based on its location, such as firing flame lasers upward or dropping bombs diagonally downward. Make full use of your option unit to face various obstacles and uncover the truth behind the mysterious shipwrecks!

The Arcade Archives series is developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing classic arcade games. It also includes convenient features such as difficulty and screen settings, rewind, rapid-fire, and multiple save slots. In addition, players can compete for the best scores with players around the world through online rankings.

Arcade Archives 2 series introduces a brand-new mode called Time Attack Mode, in addition to the Original Mode, Hi Score Mode, and Caravan Mode from Arcade Archives. Time Attack Mode focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve.

What’s more, with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support, the gameplay can be reproduced even more accurately, closer to the original arcade experience.
