Navarone (video game)
1980 video game
Navarone is a 1980 fixed shooter video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. Released only in Japan in February 1980, it is one of Namco's last monochromatic video games. Hamster Corporation released the game outside Japan for the first time as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in March 2023.
Gameplay
The player controls a boat which must move around the edge of an island trying to shoot the pellets, mines and central skull for points while avoiding the bullets fired at it by the indestructible gun turrets. Should it get hit by one, it will lose a life, but once it has cleared the island, the remaining time will be added to its score (in 100-point increments), and it will proceed to the next round.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Navarone (video game)” as 1980 video game. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 1980 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3873398. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1980 and 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
