Frigate

Frigate is a real-time, text-based strategic game which pits you and your ship against a Soviet fleet of vessels. The object of the game is to destroy as many of the Russian ships as possible while avoiding destruction. Points are awarded for destroying your enemy while avoiding their missiles. Your ship, a nuclear powered guided missile frigate, has many advantages over its Russian counterparts, but you are outnumbered by a large margin. You will be operating on an area of 1,000,000 square miles. At your disposal you have radar, sonar, jamming equipment, anti-missile capabilities and three types of ordinance.Juushin Rogus

The space federation has assigned you a critical mission on planet Sagoth: defeat the forces of Geisel, a professor turned conqueror. Using lost technology found within Sagoth's ruins, and supplies left across the planet, he's created a robotic army superior to anything the federation can muster. You're going alone, using a bipedal mech based on what little of Geisel's research has been intercepted. It's time to reclaim your lost bases, eliminate the scientist's legions, and uncover the secrets lying beneath this world. Juushin ROGUS combines turn-based strategy, side-scrolling shooter action, and a light RPG layer into one accessible story. Managing and moving between your military bases, which automatically produce new units you can distribute, is crucial to success. Defending or attacking a base leads to action-platforming combat, where you jump, shoot, and fly across a battlefield full of limited replenishing enemies. As you destroy foes, your mech levels up over time, acquiring new weapons, aerial boosters, aCrack

Swiss developed Arkanoid style game, with a prehistoric theme. Play is for one or two players simultaneously (including a battle-mode), and options are available for mouse and joystick controls. A comprehensive level editor is also included. The players’ bat here is made out to look like a bone, and the ball is a spherical stone. Level backdrops are randomised pixel-painted scenes featuring different types of Dinosaurs. The bricks to knock out sometimes contain pickups to collect, such as a laser gun, an automatic CPU controlled bat navigation mode, extra life, slow-ball etc. A pickup is immediately activated upon collection, but subsequent ones collected are not if one is active, and clicking the right mouse button will cancel out the current effect for the last pickup collected. A bonus coconut game can be enabled from the main menu, which in turn lets you play this sub-game at predefined intervals during the course of standard play, where you control a caveman holding a pan, and the object is to catch coconutsFull Throttle

star 4.9Blade Eagle 3-D is a vertical shoot-em-up which has no story involved. You just have to shoot your way on three planets (you have to travel through space first), blasting as many enemies as possible. Along the way, there are several bosses that you have to defeat. The later ones drop a power-up, which you can use to upgrade your ship. Some of the power-ups include double shots and laser beams. Another power-up gives you the ability to have an extra ship on your side and will join the fight, and will later serve as a backup. Blade Eagle is designed for play in conjunction with the Sega 3-D Glasses. If you play without the 3-D glasses, it will look like as if there are two of your ships, not just one. If there are four enemies approaching you, they will look like eight.Ginga Ninkyouden

Jaleco’s 1987 arcade action game Ginga Ninkyouden (“Tale of the Galactic Yakuza”) tells the story of Yatchan, a young gangster who won a heart of his boss, Clis.

So begins Yatchan’s adventure to rescue her, as he fights his way through Cobra’s army assembled across time and space. However, a closer inspection on the game will reveal a twist: the whole thing is one big movie production, both Yatchan and his girlfriend being actors in it.Xenon

star 7.5Xenon is a 1988 vertical scrolling shooter computer game, developed by The Bitmap Brothers and published by Melbourne House which was then owned by Mastertronic. Xenon was followed in 1989 by Xenon 2: Megablast. The player assumes the role of Darrian, a future space pilot called into action by a mayday report from his superior on a nebula space station. As of late, the colonies of mankind have been under attack by mysterious and violent aliens called the Xenites and it is finally time for Darrian to engage them. Unlike most scrolling shooters, the player can move in any direction instead of straight up. The player craft has two modes, a flying plane and a ground tank. The transition between crafts can be initiated at almost any time during play (except during the mid- and end-of-level boss sections, as well as certain levels where a certain mode is forced), and the mode chosen depends on the nature of the threat the player faces. Destroying some enemies released power-ups the player could catch to enhance their sF-19 Stealth Fighter

Spellseeker is a lesser-known Commodore 64 game released in 1987 by Bug-Byte. You are a wizard who has volunteered to search the Magic Maze for the evil sorcerer Ashlaa and kill him. The maze is full of dangerous monsters who will try to kill you by decreasing your damage and when it reaches zero it is game over. You are able to use various types of magic which can be collected along the way as well as a shield. Scattered around the maze are various types of wells which can increase your damage and magic but some are poisonous. Teleports can also be discovered which will transport you to other parts of the maze. The game is an isometric flick-screen maze arcade adventure where a joystick is used to control your hero while the keyboard finds and selects spells in a small menu which also allows you to unlock items and escape. As well as the main playing area and menu you can see your damage, magic and spell meters, a clock and which monster you are fighting.Time Trax
