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

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.

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.

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.

Galaga

Sci-fi setting

A classic arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter along the bottom of the screen and blast waves of insect-like aliens. The tractor beam that captures your ship, which you can rescue for double firepower, gives it its hook.

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.

Gunstar Heroes

Sci-fi setting

A frantic Mega Drive run-and-gun with mix-and-match weapons, explosive boss fights and wild set pieces. The chaos is even better in two-player co-op.

Mutant Mudds

Bright, upbeat tone

A tight retro platformer where you hover with a jetpack and blast mutant mud monsters while hopping between three depth layers in each level. Its pixel art and precise controls evoke the 8- and 16-bit era.

Super Star Wars

Sci-fi setting

A classic 2D run-and-gun platformer based on the original Star Wars film, letting you fight as Luke, Han or Chewbacca from Tatooine to the Death Star. Vehicle stages add variety, and the difficulty is famously high.
