StarGoose is a classic freeware up-scrolling shooting game. I remember downloading this and playing it many many years ago from a local BBS, and it's still pretty cool now. Besides the shooting action, there are also short bonus stages where you can picku

Action
An average shooting game. The screen scrolls vertically, and you blast stuff. It also includes bombs that you can drop as well as your typical lazer. Somewhat bland VGA graphics and sounds, and the controls take awhile to get used to. Only for shooter fan
A simplistic, yet very playable shooting game. You fly your ship (your 'spiffy' spaceship?) through space shooting at baddies. Sound fun? It gets more frantic later on as the game speed increases. It's got nice, smooth VGA graphics ... however, the sound
Space Pilot is a decent space dogfighting game. The concept is simple: shoot the other ships! ;) The controls are a bit awkward at first (use the Alt/Ctrl keys to rotate and Shift to fire) but aren't so bad once you get used to them. Average graphics, but
A rare EGA shoot-em-up game, Space Nightmare is pretty well made, including multiple ships you can select, well drawn & smooth-scrolling graphics, and adequate sound effects. There is of course no plot to speak of, but it doesn't really need a storyline:
This fanmade space shooting game definitely has the look and feel of an early QuickBasic project (those of you who learned to program in Basic as your first language will know that I mean!) but its also obvious that a lot of work went into this game. Vari
I had a bit of a problem putting this game in a category, since it includes quite a bit of adventure elements along with the shooting. You become a space pilot who is sent on various missions, and to complete them you must sometimes destroy another ship (
Seek and Destroy is an entertaining and well polished shooting game. Using superb VGA graphics and SB sound effects, the object of the game is to complete missions using either a chopper or a tank (your choice before each mission begins). The game control
Full name "Raptor: Call of the Shadows," I remember playing this for far too long. It's a fairly basic shooting game (gameplay-wise), however, it has nice looking graphics and SB sound effects. It also helps you become more involved, because you earn mone
This game presents a few interesting twists on the classic Asteroids type game. First of all, there are seperate controls for moving and firing, allowing you to fire one direction while moving in another. Also, the game looks great (it features a 3D playi
It looks quite complicated at first, but this game is basically about shooting stuff. You select your ship, different options, etc, and then enter the battle. The game has some nice graphical effects, but since you usually only fight 1-2 enimies at once i
Like shooting stuff? Try Overkill. Despite the name, it isn't at all gory. In fact, it's a space shooter in the tradition of Galaga and so many others. It features EGA graphics and SB sounds and music. The gameplay isn't extremely varied, but it has good
This is a great EGA shooting game from Apogee, who were better known for their "jumping" games like Keen and the original Duke Nukem series. However this game is pretty good. It features frantic EGA graphics and SB sounds/music. There are lots of ship pow
If you're a fan of Galaxian (or its sequel Galaga) you may want to check out Kiloblaster. This simple EGA shooter seems heavily influenced by those classic arcade games. The aim here is to, of course, shoot down all of the baddies. The gameplay is fairly
Island Hopper is a somewhat generic shooting game in which you fly a plane over various terrain and blast your enemies. Similar in style to the 1942/1943 games available for arcade and home systems, the game is not very deep but does include well drawn, c
