An action arcade game developed by [[SNK]] that was originally released in 1986 and internationally in 1987. '''''Psycho Soldier''''' stars Athena Asamiya, a descendant of Princess Athena from SNK's previous game ''[[Athena (Videovideo Gamegame)|Athena]]'', and is noteworthy for being the first video game with a vocal in-game soundtrack.
 
Psycho Soldier is noteworthy for being the first video game to utilize a vocal track during in-game play, with vocals provided by Japanese pop idol Kaori Shimizu (not to be confused with [[Kaori Shimizu|the seiyuu]] [[Name's the Same|with the same name]]). This was achieved by creating a JAMMA board that was much larger than usual, and consists of three PCB boards hardwired together and sandwiched on top of each other inside the game cabinet. Her song made Athena one of the earliest video game idols in Japan. Both the Japanese and English-language versions of the game have different vocals for the main song.
