SNK Playmore has ported the classic Neo-Geo shooter Shock Troopers to PC via Steam, with the help of developer DotEmu.

The game was originally released back in 1997 by SNK Playmore on the Neo-Geo MVS. Developed by Saurus, the game lets players choose one of eight protagonists, or form a team of three.

From there you progress through the battlefield against a shadowy terrorist organization known as Bloody Scorpions. You’ll have to make use of the eight-way shooting, and even the help of a friend via its online cooperative mode.

Here are the game’s key features:

• ARCADE:
  Choose a character and go on your mission solo in “Lonely Wolf” mode, or form a team of three soldiers from the eight mercenary characters available, and try to rescue Dr. George and his granddaughter who have been kidnapped.
  The route you choose at the beginning will affect the progress of the game, allowing you to enjoy an original gameplay experience time after time.
• MULTIPLAYER:
  Connect to Steam and clear missions with a brother-in-arms far away via the Online Co-Op Play feature.
  Engage with a fellow countryman or foreign ally, and try to put an end to the evil plans of the terrorist group called the “Bloody Scorpions”!
• LEADERBOARDS:
  Check your current rank & score in “SHOCK TROOPERS” at any time, as well as those of your friends and other top troopers!
• SETTINGS:
  Configure your language, video and language display, and adjust sound volume settings to your preference for the most pleasant “SHOCK TROOPERS” experience ever.

You can find Shock Troopers here on Steam.
