OK
retro's, all aboard Namco's time machine for their second blast from the past.
Xevious
A
vertically scrolling shoot-em-up where your fighter carries a twin-blaster to
dispatch airborne aggression. Boasts the first ever sprites to be pre-rendered
by a computer.
Gaplus
Similar to Galaxians where the
destruction of a specific craft offers you a tractor beam which locks onto enemy
targets. These are then dragged down the screen to join your vessel and build
up your own forces.
CutieQ
A cross between Breakout and
Arcanoid and Pinball. A ball is released into the playing area where it bounces
around hitting flashing targets. The player controls two paddles, one at the
base and the other in the middle of the table. At the top of the screen is a
set of blocks that must be removed.
Mappy
Mappy Mouse must
collect the stolen artifacts that are scattered around each level. Chasing cats
must be avoided by slamming doors in their faces in this retro platform game.
Grobda
Simple
to look at, a bitch to play as survival is the aim of the game in this very
early tank strategy game. Viewed from a top down perspective there is a degree
of tactical play and a desire to beat the tougher levels.
Dragon
Blaster
An early scrolling RPG adventure where you hack your way across
the screen collecting potions, armor and fireball scrolls. Fight your way past
dragons, skeletons and wizards and if you die you will probably never load up
this game again.
