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

A fast 3D platformer where you rocket through floating ruins in a jet-powered suit, dodging hazards and hostile robots while chasing leaderboard times. Precision and freedom in choosing your route are the core appeal.

Bio Menace

Sci-fi setting

A classic 1993 run-and-gun platformer where you play Snake Logan, blasting mutants and robot guards with a machine gun and grenades on the way to Dr. Mangle's fortress.

Abuse

Sci-fi setting

A 1996 side-scrolling shooter where you move with the keyboard and aim freely with the mouse. You battle swarms of mutants and solve simple switch puzzles across dark sci-fi levels.

Alien Trilogy

Sci-fi setting

A grim 1996 first-person shooter that recreates the Alien films across 30 levels, as you blast through corridors full of facehuggers, xenomorphs and Queens with a range of weapons. The claustrophobic atmosphere and motion tracker build constant tension.

Receiver

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist first-person shooter where every gun action is manual: ejecting the magazine, loading rounds one by one, cocking the hammer. Randomized levels and scattered tapes tell a dark story in fragments, while turrets and drones punish every mistake.

Alien Breed

Sci-fi setting

A classic top-down shooter where you fight through an alien-infested space station, juggling scarce ammo, health and mission objectives. Its tense sci-fi horror mood is clearly inspired by the Alien films.

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.

Crusader: No Remorse

Sci-fi setting

An isometric sci-fi action shooter where you play a defecting Silencer taking down a corrupt world government with heavy weapons, destructible environments, and tricky traps and puzzles.

DeadCore

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

DeadCore is a fast first-person platformer with guns, in which you climb a massive, fog-shrouded tower. Precise jumping, timing and speedrun appeal take center stage, wrapped in a dreamlike sci-fi atmosphere.
