Cannon Spike (game)

Cannon Spike, known as Gun Spike in Japanese arcades, is a multi-directional shooter arcade game released in 2000 by Psikyo and in 2001 for the Sega Dreamcast by Capcom. It uses Capcom-designed characters and runs on Sega's Naomi Hardware. Cannon Spike is similar to games like Smash TV and Capcom's Commando, although with primary focus on boss fighting.

"Cannon Spike" is the name of a trademark attack performed by Cammy, one of two characters from the Street Fighter series and one of the protagonists of this title.
