Mega Man 10

Jumping and platforming

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.

Duke Nukem II

Jumping and platforming

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.

C: The Contra Adventure

Shooting and gunplay

You blast through ten levels of alien-infested jungle as Ray, mixing run-and-gun shooting with jumping sections and a large arsenal of weapons. It is a relentless, old-school action shooter from the late PlayStation era.

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.

Duke Nukem

Jumping and platforming

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.

Mighty No. 9

Jumping and platforming

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.

Mega Man 9

Jumping and platforming

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.

Alien Rampage

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic 90s 2D run-and-gun shooter where you play an angry alien blasting through hordes of creatures to escape a hostile planet. Large animated sprites and parallax backgrounds deliver straightforward arcade action.

VectorMan 2

Jumping and platforming

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.
