comment |
Special Cybernetic Attack Team (or S.C.A.T. for short) is an NES Shoot 'Em Up game by Natsume in the vein of Capcom's Forgotten Worlds and Section Z. You play as members of the eponymous team whose task is to single-handedly repel an alien invasion on Earth. In the US version, said members are named Arnold and Sigourney - yes, just like the ones you know from the silver screen. |

No Celebrities Were Harmed - In the US version, you play as characters named either Arnold or Sigourney, and while no surname is given, it's evident that both strongly resemble famous action movie stars going by identical names. Action in New York keeps the appearance but changes their names. |
