Brings what grabs you about Neon Hardcorps: good gunplay, combat with precise timing and a 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.

Zenodyne R

Challenging difficulty

A 16-bit era style shoot-'em-up with a Mega Drive-flavored soundtrack, six boss-filled stages, five ships and branching paths. Your reflexes and patience get a serious workout.

Galaga

Shooting and gunplay

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.

Truxton

Challenging difficulty

Truxton is a classic vertical shoot 'em up from the arcade era, where you pilot a small spaceship through five large levels packed with enemy waves. With just a shot and a bomb button, you fight through bosses that loop endlessly at higher difficulties.

Zero Wing

Shooting and gunplay

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.

Super Contra

Challenging difficulty

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.

Hyper Sentinel

Shooting and gunplay

A retro arcade shooter inspired by the 8-bit era, mixing classic blasting with modern upgrades and mechanics. Fast reflexes and pixel visuals take center stage.

Bot Vice

Challenging difficulty

A frantic single-screen pixel-art gallery shooter inspired by Time Crisis and Wild Guns. A tight overall time limit for the whole run keeps the pressure on and tests your reflexes.
