Major Stryker

Sci-fi setting

A classic early-90s PC vertical-scrolling space shooter where you play Major Stryker fending off the alien Kreton invaders. Fast arcade action with power-ups and waves of enemies is the focus.

Alpha Mission

Sci-fi setting

A classic vertically scrolling arcade shooter in the vein of Xevious, where separate weapons for air and ground targets are used against waves of enemies. Short, demanding action with power-ups.

Earth Defense Force 2017

Gameplay comes before story

A deliberately cheesy arcade third-person shooter where you blast giant ants, robots and UFOs with a huge weapon collection, alone or with a friend, while whole city blocks collapse. Its B-movie charm and chaotic destruction are the appeal.

Chicken Invaders

Sci-fi setting

A humorous arcade shooter in the spirit of Space Invaders, where you fend off alien chickens seeking revenge on humanity. Fast, simple action with a tongue-in-cheek sense of absurdity.

Xevious

Sci-fi setting

A 1982 arcade classic in which you pilot the Solvalou fighter through vertically scrolling waves of alien enemies, shooting air targets and bombing ground ones at once. It was a pioneering title for the shoot-'em-up genre.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Sci-fi setting

A classic 1994 vertical scrolling arcade shooter where you fly the Raptor as a mercenary, earning cash to buy and upgrade weapons between missions. Fast action, swarms of enemies and a driving soundtrack define the experience.
