TASO 131 is a side-scrolling arcade game I developed as a hobby project in the 1990s. It features helicopters, cruise missiles, ground troops and even paratroopers. The objective is to destroy opponents' bases while defending your own. In the campaign mode, players also get to design their own bases in RTS style, constructing barracks, air defence systems and various other buildings. TASO 131 supports up to four players, which can be AI players or human players playing on one computer using split-screen graphics.

This video is from the classic mode (referring to older versions of TASO) where you start with a ready-built base. The framerate seems a bit skippy in the video, but fortunately it runs better live. The map is called Chaos and the background tune is Level Million by Seer.
