Overview
Au (アゥ) is a shoot 'em up game that Tehkan (Later Tecmo, now Koei Tecmo Games) planned to release in 1983. The "Au" comes from the elemental symbol for gold. Gameplay is on a fixed screen, where you shoot flying enemies to capture them, and then shoot more of them to destroy enemy bases on the ground with them. The game is cleared when only one enemy base can be destroyed until only one remains. The one remaining base is carried over to the next stage.
This was also the last game developed by Tehkan before changing the name to Tecmo.
