The aliens are arranged in rows and slowly move to the edge of the screen, before descending and continuing in the opposite direction. As more aliens are defeated, they increase in speed. A UFO will occasionally appear towards the top of the screen, which can be shot down for bonus points. There are three game modes that change the way the aliens move; the first presents two formations of enemies that move in opposite dAcrobatic Dog-Fight

Punk Shot

Punk Shot takes up to four players to downtown NYC for some two-on-two street basketball, no referee, no rules. The opposing two-man teams face off for a match played in four quarters (2 to 5 minutes each), on improvised courts in 3 different locations: the alley, the park, and the harbor. Naturally, it ain't just about being cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school: on each side you have a couple of guys who are up to no good, with a constant enthusiasm for making trouble in the neighborhood. As such, Punk Shot joyfully turns basketball into a full-contact sport - heads will be bashed, noses punched, and private parts kicked. To top it off, each court features an assortment of environmental hazards, from slippery banana peels and having your butt set on fire, to the park dogs and their special taste for pants.S.P.Y. Special Project Y

On offense you can perform short or long passes with the A and C buttons, respectively, while the B button performs a scoring kick. While on defense you can manually switch player control with the B button or slide tackle the opposing ball carrier with the A button. Most of the time the game plays like a traditional 2D soccer title, but when the ball carrier and a defending player face off against each other, the game changes into a feinting interface.Super Muscle Bomber

Semicom's second pure mini game collection relies on quick and simple challenges in the same vein as Bishi Bashi, borrowing its input scheme of three colored buttons. Seventeen games in four tears wait for their completion, ranging from boring stuff like "find the differing image" or "choose the right exit from the labyrinth", to more inventive tasks where the player evades Gozilla's stomping feet or performs magic tricks in form of button combinations. The presentation is nothing to write home about. Everything looks distinctively low budget, especially the narrow color range leaves a rather weird impression.Choujikuu Yousai Macross
