Interpose is a well designed shooting game with good graphics and sound effects. There's not much story, but as you fly your ship through the various levels you will shoot down a variety of enemies while collecting powerups as well as money, which can be

Highway Hunter is a vertical shooting game with great production values (animated cutscenes, well-drawn SVGA graphics, paralax scrolling, great music) and intense action. In the game, you must drive along the futuristic roads and blast everything in your
While the control scheme takes a little getting used to, this game is definitely very polished ... that is, it is very well put together and it's clear that a lot of time has gone into its construction. The graphics are great and so are the sound effects.
This game may not be very complicated but it IS fun to play. The game was the first attempt by Cygnus Software (now "Mountain King Studios") to develop a shareware game. They later went on to develop the awesome game "Raptor: Call of the Shadows". This ga
This was an early favorite of mine. Its not very complicated, but this game is a fun, simple space shooting game that somehow can seem relaxing at times. Wave after wave of enemies come at you, and you must shoot them all before your fuel runs out. You ca
A more laid-back shooting game, Evasive Maneuvers has you in control of your space ship, plowing through various high-tech themed levels, shooting and dropping bombs on various obstacles. You must continually collect fuel (by destroying fuel canisters) to
Cash Invaders is a really cool looking (and playing) Space Invaders variant, which includes 100 levels of shooting action. There are several improvements over the classic space game including raytraced graphics, weapon powerups that can be purchased, and
Blast Zone is, as it is described by its own authors, a "typical shoot'em up game with powerups, hordes of really disgusting aliens and bosses". Although not very technically impressive, this game is still fun to play due to its tight control and short st
A cool Asteroids remake. It features great pre-rendered graphics, cool sounds, and new powerup items. Its VGA graphics look great and plays very smoothly. Definitely a fun game, even if you're tired of traditional Asteroids-type games.
Argon is a variation of Asteroids. It is a space shooting game with CGA graphics, but yet it includes SoundBlaster sound effects. (I think that's the first time I've seen that combination.) Anyways, it plays decently, and gets tougher as you progress. Its
While Xyphr may seem, from its screenshot, to resemble such classic games as Space Harrier, Afterburner, Top Gun, or even Blue Lightning (for you Atari Lynx fans) its good looks belie its extremely limited gameplay. As your ship flies forward, various ene
Bounce off the wall, collect gems, try not to die. I can't make it sound exciting, but it's not a bad game. It's sort of an update of an arcade game I forget the name of. In any case, it's probably worth a try.
X-Fighter (or is that "xfighter"?) is a simplistic shooting game played on a large grid. The object is to shoot the other planes before they crash into your ship. The CGA graphics won't "wow" you, nor will the simple PC speaker beeps. The game does play d
Apogee's only Street Fighter II style fighting game (maybe made to compete with Rise of the Robots which was released two years earlier?), this game certainly has the looks of a great game, but IMHO falls a bit short in the gameplay department. The game c
Worm Wars 3 will look somewhat familiar to anyone who played the classic QBasic game Nibbles, but it includes many improvements and features that seperate it from Nibbles. It still uses ASCII graphics, but includes multiplayer play (versus another player
