Vindicators is a 1988 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades. One or two players each control a tank in a multidirectional scrolling level. The game received ports by Tengen to home computers and the Nintendo Entertainment System (the latter version of which was not licensed by Nintendo and used an alternate chip to defeat the 10NES lockout system). Ports were planned for the Atari Lynx and Apple IIGS (with the latter even completed), but were both cancelled. Vindicators was followed by the lesser-known arcade sequel Vindicators Part II.
