Yamato (ヤマト) is an arcade game developed by Sega in 1983. It runs on hardware designed by Nichibutsu for their 1980 game Crazy Climber. It was subsequently brought to the SG-1000 later in the year.

In the game the player takes control of the Yamato battleship (which was sunk off Kyuushuu during World War II), firing at enemy ships and planes while avoiding missiles and torpedoes.

Synopsis

Avoid the enemy's attack by torpedoes and missiles. Shoot down the missiles. Be careful, YAMATO will explode if it is hit broadside. Aim at the enemy and fire the guns. Attack enemy's planes by using your quick-firing guns. Can YAMATO survive through this fierce battle?
