[quote name="Mischief Shai-hulud"]#80 <A HREF="http://www.remakes.org/comp2006/screenshots.php?page=4" TARGET="new">Nemesis</A> <I>Scroll Down</I> (Freeware) A remake of Gradius with updated graphics and sound. The Orchestral rendition of the classic 8-bit music is fantastic. #79 <A HREF="http://www.pompomgames.com/spacetripper.htm" TARGET="new">Space Tripper</A> (Shareware) Arcade game with nice graphics that controls like Defender. The twist is that the game plays from an overhead perspective and in later levels your hovercraft can fall off the board. No annoying astronauts in need of defending. #78 <A HREF="http://www.pieyegames.com/DarkSide/Info.htm" TARGET="new">Darkside</A> (Shareware) An Asteroids-alike with really good graphics where you're skimming along the roughly spherical surface of a large inhabited asteroid, clearing away smaller asteroids and an increasingly huge and nasty array of alien attackers. Don't bother with Mission mode, Arcade mode is where it's at. #77 <A HREF="http://www20.cds.ne.jp/~murasame/games/jabberwock.htm" TARGET="new">Engage to Jabberwock</A> (Freeware) A mixture of Legend of Zelda with bullet hell shmups. Explore the depths of the dungeon fighting villainous pumpkins, battlemechs, and chicks in crotchless lingerie riding tanks. #76 <A HREF="http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/gr_e.html" TARGET="new">Gunroar</A> (Freeware) An abstract vertical shmup by Kenta Cho based on sea battles. You control a boat that can move and aim independently with a variety of different control options. Moving to the top of the screen and zooming ahead increases the multiplier and the difficulty on the fly. #75 <A HREF="http://www.lonelytroops.com/wof/index.htm" TARGET="new">War on Folvos</A> (Shareware) Turn-based tactical strategy game with great music. Its plot about a powerful space empire taking over a desert planet to secure energy resources only to find itself mired in battle against a guerrilla insurgency just might be a subtle allegory. #74 <A HREF="http://www.chip.de/downloads/Plasma-Pong-1.3c_18889629.html" TARGET="new">Plasma Pong</A> (Freeware) Beautiful game in which paddles battle by squirting fluid at the ball. The <A HREF="http://www.plasmapong.com/" TARGET="new">main site</A> was shut down by Atari for infringing on their copyright and losing the company millions in pong-related sales. Luckily it's still available at the link above. My german is a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure "Zum Download" is the button to press. #73 <A HREF="http://www.bruneras.com/fgames_boy.htm" TARGET="new">Star Wars: Battle of Yavin</A> (Freeware) Fly as Luke Skywalker along with 30 X-Wings and Y-Wings assaulting the Death Star. Simplified flight controls can be controlled with WASD and the mouse. The game is at its best when it breaks canon and adds battles against the Death Star's Star Destroyer escort. #72 <A HREF="http://crimsonland.reflexive.com/?menu=news" TARGET="new">Crimsonland</A> (Shareware) Robotron-esqe survival game. Killing enemies gives you experience points you can spend on perks that give you new powers. There is also an earlier <A HREF="http://www.acid-play.com/download/crimsonland/" TARGET="new">Freeware Version</A> still available. #71 <A HREF="http://www.vector.co.jp/download/file/win95/game/fh391186.html" TARGET="new">Hakaiman</A> (Freeware) Metal Gear-alike with neck snapping and a copious amount of grenades. If the game won't run, change the name of the executable to something in english.[/quote]
