In the Hunt

98 %

1993 PCPlayStation

  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Sci-fi setting

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.

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.

Mega Man 9

Sci-fi setting

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Mega Man 10

Sci-fi setting

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

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.

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.

Captain Kaon

Action-packed real-time combat

A retro twin-stick shooter with gravity-based flight, where you pilot a gunship across the solar system against the villainous Doctor Quantex. Its Amiga-inspired pixel art and tight controls deliver old-school arcade nostalgia.

Steredenn

Sci-fi setting

A frantic pixel-art space shmup blending roguelike elements: randomized stages, a large weapon arsenal and punishing boss fights make every run feel different.

Zangeki Warp

Action-packed real-time combat

An arcade-style space shooter where you pilot a fighter craft and use its warp ability to slip through swarms of monsters unleashed by an evil scientist. Quick reflexes and clever use of the warp mechanic are the core of play.
