  • Sci-fi setting
  • Shooting and gunplay
  • Action-packed real-time combat

A classic DOS platform shooter where Duke blasts his way through aliens and robots as a cocky action hero. Fast levels, hidden secrets and plenty of over-the-top attitude define the game.

Codename: Gordon

Sci-fi setting

A free 2D Flash sidescroller that brings Half-Life 2 into a side view: as Gordon Freeman you fight through levels with familiar weapons, enemies and locations, mixed with light puzzles.

Duke Nukem

Shooting and gunplay

The first Duke Nukem is a classic side-scrolling platformer with shooting, where Duke takes on Dr. Proton's robot army. A short retro arcade outing that introduces the wisecracking action hero.

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project

Shooting and gunplay

A 2.5D action shooter where Duke blasts and wisecracks his way through a mutant-infested New York. Platforming sections and heavy gunplay come with crude, over-the-top 90s-style humor.

Alien Carnage

Shooting and gunplay

A classic DOS side-scrolling platform shooter where a jetpack-equipped hero blasts hordes of aliens and zombies through run-and-gun levels while rescuing hostages. The tone is campy and tongue-in-cheek.

VectorMan 2

Sci-fi setting

A fast run-and-gun platformer where the orb-bodied VectorMan blasts and transforms his way through an abandoned research facility. Its pre-rendered 3D orb-model look was distinctive for the era.

Mighty No. 9

Sci-fi setting

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Muri

Sci-fi setting

A retro run-and-gun platformer styled after 80s DOS games, where a woman in a powerful armor suit investigates why Mars vanished. Gameplay shifts between fast shooting action and more tactical combat.

Alien Soldier

Challenging difficulty

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

Intrusion 2

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced sci-fi action platformer in the spirit of classic 16-bit side-scrollers, mixing quick shooting with modern physics and animation. You fight through the facilities of a hostile military corporation on a remote planet.
