Zero Wing

Sci-fi setting

A classic side-scrolling shoot 'em up that became a cult name thanks to the infamous Mega Drive translation and the "All your base are belong to us" meme. Its signature twist is grabbing enemies with a tractor beam and using them as shields.

In the Hunt

Challenging difficulty

A classic Irem side-scrolling arcade shooter where you pilot a submarine through hostile waters. Detailed pixel art, explosive action and punishing difficulty define the experience.

Gradius Origins

Sci-fi setting

A collection of all seven arcade Gradius games in 18 versions, including the Gradius III AM Show Version making its home console debut. Classic side-scrolling shoot-'em-ups with the power-up bar, precise dodging and steep difficulty.

Ultratron

Sci-fi setting

Ultratron is a frantic twin-stick arcade shooter in the spirit of Robotron 2084, where you play the last battle droid blasting waves of killer robots. Neon retro visuals, driving sound and upgrades between levels make for a hypnotic flow.

Tempest 2000

Sci-fi setting

A fast arcade tube shooter where you glide a claw-shaped ship around the rim of neon geometric levels, blasting waves of enemies. Pounding techno music and particle effects turn this update of the classic into an intense reflex test.

Air Buster

Sci-fi setting

A classic arcade side-scrolling shoot-'em-up in the vein of R-Type and Gradius, blasting through sci-fi stages with power-ups. Its standout feature is simultaneous two-player play.

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.
