Scramble is an arcade video game that features horizontal scrolling shooter gameplay, launched by Konami in 1981.

It was distributed for production in Japan by Leijac, North America by Stern, and , like ours the wonderful Zacarria in Europe.

As the first side-scrolling shooter with enforced scrolling and various unique levels, it laid the groundwork for an entirely new genre.

It was Konami's first major worldwide hit. In the United States, it sold 15,136 arcade cabinets within five months and became Stern's second best-selling game.

The player pilots a high-tech aircraft, known in the game as a jet, navigating it over scrolling landscapes while fighting off various obstacles. This jet is equipped with a forward-firing weapon and bombs, each controlled by its own button. Players need to steer clear of crashing into the terrain and other foes while also keeping an eye on their limited fuel supply, which decreases as time passes. Additional fuel can be obtained by taking out fuel tanks scattered throughout the game.

The game consists of six distinct sections, each featuring unique terrain styles and a variety of obstacles. There are no levels as such with game transitioning smoothly from one terrain to the next. Players earn points for how long they survive, in addition to destroying enemies and fuel tanks. In the last section, the player is tasked with eliminating a 'base'. Upon completing this goal, a flag signalling mission completion appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. The game then resets from the first section, but with increased difficulty.

Scramble achieved both commercial success and critical acclaim. In its February 1982 edition, Computer and Video Games magazine remarked that it "was the first arcade game to send you on a mission and quickly gained a large following." In the United States, the game sold 10,000 arcade cabinets, generating $20,000,000 (which is about $69,000,000 in 2024) in sales just two months after its 1981 release, and it led the US monthly RePlay arcade charts in June 1981. By August 4, 1981, it had sold 15,136 arcade cabinets in the United States, making it Stern's second best-selling game after Berzerk.

Our Scramble is in this lovely Zacarria cab, very similar to our Phoenix cab and we love them.
