Space Griffon VF-9 is a 1995 action game developed by Panther Software and published by Atlus Software.
The player controls James "Jim" Billington (Codename: "Kid"), a mech pilot investigating a space colony on the Moon where something has gone wrong.
The game has typical mech game elements such as equipping items and character inventories. If Kid's life reaches zero, the game is over.
Piloting VF mechs, the AMC team consists of Konrad Von Eibol (“Boss”), captain of the squad; Oreag Arnderson (“Killer”), the team's tough guy; Maria Hansfield (“Stormy”), a moody and quick tempered woman; Rauzein Shizevinov (“Bighorn”), a skilled mechanic and information backer; Mark Smiley (“Thief”), whose prized possession is a popular good luck charm called Lunar Tears; and James “Jim” Billington (“Kid”), the newest member of the team piloting the VF-9 Griffon which the player controls.
Upon the team's arrival at HAMLET, they encounter no signs of life other than hostile guard robots, auto-noids and bio-organisms, including a large and intelligent bio-monster that frequently eludes them. A data disk containing a researcher's diary explains that a viral outbreak of research ordered by A-MAX caused infected individuals to attack non-infected ones, killing most of the residents including lead researcher Professor Mabel, who was absorbed by an organism. The virus also has the ability to reanimate the dead into zombies.
