Bank Panic (バンクパニック) is an arcade shooting game developed by Sanritsu and manufactured by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. in 1984. It was later ported by Sega to the SG-1000 and Sega Master System. An unlicensed clone called West Bank was released for several home computer systems. The same hardware would also be used for the later Sega/Sanritsu game Combat Hawk.

Gameplay

The player takes on the role of a sheriff in 19th century USA, protecting a bank from armed robbers. There are twelve doors arranged in a circle, with the player in the centre, which can be viewed three at a time. Robbers who appear from the doors are to be shot (after they draw their weapons, for a higher score) and customers are to be ignored while they make a deposit. Once deposits have been made from all twelve doors, the level is complete.

The original arcade game uses three buttons to shoot the doors in their respective position - left, centre and right. The SG-1000 and Master System versions use , and to shoot the left, central and right doors respectively.
