About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Granada is a top-down shooter originally released on the X68000 home computer in 1990 and ported to the Sega Genesis later the same year. As with their previous Genesis release, <a href="/final-zone/3030-578/" data-ref-id="3030-578">Final Zone</a>, Wolf Team developed and published the game in Japan and Renovation published it overseas.</p><p>The player occupies a powerful tank (or "maneuver cepter") named Granada and must eliminate targets by traversing a large open area in multiple directions and seeking them out. Destroying all critical enemies, which appear on a radar at the bottom right of the screen, summons the stage's boss which then needs to be defeated before the level is complete.</p><p>The game's controls work similarly as a twin-stick shooter, though with some caveats due to the limitations of the gamepad. Players can hold the A button to shoot and the D-pad to move, while using the B button to lock the tank's firing direction in place to keep pressure on a target. The C button fires a powerful but slow blaster shot with a recoil that knocks the Granada back a small distance.</p>
