Matchlock, is a 1972 electro-mechanical gun game manufactured by Sega.
In a battle of the feudal period of Japanese history, the player shoots hordes of Ashigaru foot soldiers (足軽,) , which move in diagonal rows, using a replica of an old matchlock gun or Tanegashima (種子島), in order to defend a Japanese castle (城, shiro). When a soldier is shot, he screams an electronic death squeal in an "Oriental" manner. Each hit is worth 10 points and a free game can be given between 140 and 190 points. The Matchlock game has solid-state sound and the gun has recoil.
