Play Blazer (Japan) Online

Blazer is an isometric-perspective scrolling shooter for one or two players. Set in a war-torn country, the player controls a tank named "Vanguard" and a helicopter named "Handy" alternately. Goal is to get to the top of the screen while killing enemies both on land and in the air. At the bottom of the screen a fuel-meter is shown that slowly depletes to zero and a life is lost. Therefore it is wise to carefully shoot and collect fuel canisters that are scattered throughout the scenery. When some air-based enemies are hit by Vanguard's anti-aircraft missiles, they leave behind a power-up which will either restore some of its fuel or make it invulnerable for a short period of time.

In some missions special gates can be found. If Vanguard passes through a gate marked "T2" it upgrades to a tank that can shoot in four directions simultaneously; a gate marked "T3" gives Vanguard an enormous cannon that can shoot enormous shots at enemies.

There are 10 missions, with in the final mission the player controlling an airboat called "Maiboto".
