Ikari Warriors, known in Japan as Ikari (怒, Ikari, lit. "Anger") is a 1986 run and gun arcade game by SNK (published in the United States and Europe by Tradewest). This was SNK's first major breakthrough US release and became something of a classic. The game was released at the time when there were many Commando clones on the market. What made Ikari Warriors instantly distinct, were rotary joysticks and the allowing simultaneous play by two people.

Ikari Warriors involves Ralf Jones and Clark Steel (known outside Japan as Paul and Vince in the Ikari series) battling through hordes of enemies. According to designer Keiko Iju, the game was inspired by the then-popular Rambo films and takes its name from the Japanese title of Rambo: First Blood Part II (Rambo: Ikari no Dasshutsu or "The Angry Escape").

The game was followed by two sequels: Victory Road and Ikari III: The Rescue. Ralf and Clark would later appear as playable characters in The King of Fighters series. Ralf and Clark also make an appearance as playable characters in Metal Slug 6.
