This game loads much quicker than Retro Blaster, and it supports 100's of on-screen objects (mostly shots) with little or no slow-down. Be sure to ramp your guns up to 3 + rapid fire, hold-down [Z] and blast everything back to pixels!

]]> 08 Jun 2007 02:05:54 Super Wing Commander Super Wing Commander was released exclusively for the Macintosh and 3DO. It featured drastically overhauled graphics and even added extra missions in between the included Secret Missions add-ons.





"Climbing into your cockpit, you smell the familiar scents of battle - the fresh rush of pure oxygen, the stench of sweat, the coppery tang of Durasteel. Your palms moisten as a rush of adrenaline quickens your pulse. You take what might be your last deep breath. Listen to the canopy hum overheading, you reach for the Engage Throttle button and brace yourself for launch.


You're the Terran Confederation's best pilot. If you can't outsmart the Kilrathi cats, no one can! You've been summoned to defend the TCS Tiger's Claw - can you survive and continue the bloody battle against the Empire?


Wing Commander set the benchmark in computer gaming. Now Super Wing Commander introduces the epic Kilrathi war to the Macintosh with even more missions and cinematic than the PC version - plus full speech and awesome graphics."





Although Super Wing Commander could be grouped in with the platform/console ports, it is a drastic new look at the events of the original Wing Commander game and deserves its own listing. The graphics were brought up to par with modern games in 1994 and full speech was added throughout the game. It actually preceded Wing Commander III with its CD-ROM drive requirement. The game included the events from The Secret Missions as well. A special third campaign was also created between SM1 and SM2. This SM1.5 mission lead the Tiger's Claw on an adventure to track down and destroy the shipyards responsible for creating the Sivar Dreadnought. Additional rumors about stealth fighters and Admiral Tolwyn were added to support the lead-in to Wing Commander II.

]]> 05 Apr 2007 11:41:48 Shoot the Messenger Burnie the Fire Elemental must survive waves of attacking demons while preventing the Bat-Like Mailer Daemons from escaping to deliver a message.

Each time a Mailer Daemon gets past him, the time limit is suspended, and he must battle a gigantic multi-tentacled, shape-changing demon called the Zuuling.

Move Burnie using the keyboard, and fire by aiming the mouse. The longer you hold the mouse button, the larger the fireballs Burnie can hurl. Large fireballs are faster and can burn through multiple demons.

Shooting fireballs uses Mana, which can be replaced by holding the spacebar to Meditate. Meditation leaves Burnie vulnerable. Demons drop mana powerups when you send one fireball through multiple demons, each one leaves a larger powerup. Demons also drop life powerups when you create chain-reactions by burning demons that touch each other.

The game is actually episode 112 of the webcomic Nerdcore: the Core Wars. There are three possible endings, depending on how well you perform. The game has 3 difficulty modes, 3 speed settings, and Audio options.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 03:43:49 DS4: Experimental Shooter Here's the shooter I've been working on for the last couple of weeks, my first attempt at a game following the so-called rules of rapid prototyping. I think it worked out fairly well.

]]> 26 Feb 2007 02:19:59 Wing Commander III Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger is the second sequel in the Sci-Fi Space Simulation series created by Chris Roberts.







"Professionally scripted and filmed in Hollywood, ORIGIN's multi-million dollar production combines the entertainment of film-making with the interactivity of computer gaming. The result is a spectacular spaceflight adventure.


Adrenaline, romance, danger -- Wing Commander III has all this and more. This sequel completes the turbulent chronicles of the Terran-Kilrathi war. The final showdown takes place on one of the homeworlds -- Earth or Kilrah. But only you can write the ending..."









Released in 1994, Wing Commander III was the first game to be marketed as a true "Interactive Movie". It was received with much critical-acclaim due to its high playability, state-of-the-art in-game graphics engine plus well scripted, produced and acted FMV sequences, all of which contributed to the games deep and absorbing atmosphere.


Wing Commander III was the first game in the series to use Full Motion Video as the primary story-telling device and is considered to be one of the best and successful examples of FMV use in a video game. The interactive element takes form during conversation cut-scenes where the player is asked to make a choice on how to proceed. This is done by either by giving a positive or negative response when prompted and this in turn affects the mood of the characters involved, altering theyre behaviour during missions and future conversations.


This was the final game in the Wing Commander series to deal with the Terran-Kilrathi conflict. As with the previous games, it is possible to play a winning or losing path, depending on the players performance during space-combat. The destruction of Earth or the Kilrathi's home planet of "Kilrah" is at the end of one of these two paths. However the series does continue with Wing Commander IV and Wing Commander: Prophecy.

]]> 24 Jan 2007 01:26:17 Orbital sniper Welcome to utopia.
The year is 2174, and you have been ordered to function as an
orbital sniper. In your world there's just three kinds of people:
VIPs, dissidents and normal citizens. VIPs run the world: they must
not come to harm. Dissidents must die. If a commoner or two gets
wasted in progress, it'll count against you when your post ends.

You were a normal citizen only moments ago. If you manage to prove
yourself and keep VIPs safe in your area, they might make you
a VIP. Or do poorly enough and they might decide that you're the
enemy.

On screen, VIPs are designated blue, threats are designated red
and the normal folk are white.

You control the target with mouse; right-drag or use mouse wheel
to zoom. Different zoom modes are useful for different things.
Zoom full out to see the whole situation at a glance (with all
that useless clutter removed), or zoom full in for better aiming.
Several levels of zoom in between give different information.

Left click fires your gun (which is based on some new physics laws
that we haven't invented yet, as the target is destroyed instantly).
The gun reloads for three seconds, so make sure you hit.

A typical game round lasts for about 4 minutes. It starts out easy,
but gets rather nasty later on.

]]> 04 Jan 2007 05:17:20 Alien Abduction Alien Abduction was formed from the inspiration of the classic arcade game Defender along with other twitchy arcade shooters like Mutant Storm. Classic arcade action mixed with twitchy on your toes action. Alien Abduction should not be missed.
]]> 04 Jan 2007 02:05:58 Maelstrom You pilot your ship through the dreaded "Maelstrom" asteroid belt -- suddenly your best friend thrusts towards you and fires, directly at your cockpit. You raise your shields just in time, and the battle is joined.

The deadliest stretch of space known to mankind has just gotten deadlier. Everywhere massive asteroids jostle for a chance to crush your ship, and deadly shinobi fighter patrols pursue you across the asteroid belt. But the deadliest of them all is your sister ship, assigned to you on patrol. The pilot, trained by your own Navy, battle hardened by months in the Maelstrom, is equipped with a twin of your own ship and intimate knowledge of your tactics.

The lovely Stratocaster R&R facility never sounded so good, but as you fire full thrusters to dodge the latest barrage you begin to think you'll never get home...
]]> 03 Jan 2007 02:46:07 Tron 2.0 Twenty years have passed since Kevin Flynn defeated the MCP with the help of his Tron program. In doing so, he also destroyed the technology he'd used to digitize himself. He's long since left ENCOM in the hands of Alan Bradley, who is raising a family of his own.

Now ruthless global corporate powers want to send humans into the digital realm once more in order to control world finances, and only Alan knows the answer to perfecting their faulty code. Alan encrypted his secrets in time to prevent their theft, but now he's been kidnapped, and the search for the code is on.

You enter the fray as Jet Bradley, Alan's brilliant but rebellious son, who finds himself enlisted by Ma3a to fight the now viral corporate security officer within the digital realm and prevent global domination.

The Tron series of games are based upon the 1982 Walt Disney movie of the same name, beginning with a Tron arcade game and arcade sequel. Tron 2.0 is the first game of the series to be produced for the PC, and subsequently was released for Mac. A related title, "Tron 2: Killer App" was later released for the Xbox, but with significantly altered content.

Additional Game Features:

  • Single player campaign entirely in the digital realm (excepting some cutscenes) immersing you into story-driven, first-person action.

  • As Jet Bradley you will combat digital opponents using guns, rods, grenades, missiles, and the iconic TRON disc, gaining abilities and new weapons as you overcome various challenges to go deeper into the system.

  • Defrag and disinfect your inventory or live with the unpleasant consequences (You're in a computer after all!)

  • Intense action, intense and deadly battles, and the trademark high-speed light cycle races, featuring a new light cycle design by Syd Mead, who developed the cycles for the original film.

  • Musical score by Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film score.

  • Vocal performers include Bruce Boxleitner, Rebecca Romijn, Ken Boynton, Cindy Morgan and many more, and featuring Jason Cottle as the voice of Jet Bradley.

  • Multiplayer includes some campaign scenarios and light cycle mode.

  • Rendered with the Lithtech Triton engine (specially enhanced version of their Jupiter engine)

]]> 01 Jan 2007 11:33:32 Max Payne
PC Gamer said,
Story is the bedrock of Max Payne. Yeah, it's chock full of mind-blowing gunplay, but at every turn, a new and clever piece of noir storytelling will motivate you forward and illuminate the action.

Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. In the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard Max is a fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob, Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for the pain...

The game immerses us in a dark world, aptly propelled forward by a graphic novel complete with narration in the classic style of detective film noir.


Additional Game Features:

  • The first PC game with photo-digitized textures, radiosity lighting and hardwaret T&L combined.

  • Another first in gaming is a unique utilization of "bullet-time gameplay" in which the player can briefly enter a slow motion world of quickened reflexes to get an edge in the fierce shootouts.

  • Auto-adjusting gameplay means the action will be challenging and intense without becoming unfair and frustrating.

  • Easiest-to-use game editor ever released, with WYSIWYG-style editing (PC version only). Even recreate your house or workplace!

  • Painstaking attention to detail. Bullets even modeled accurately resulting in realistic and cinematic gameplay. Everything is destructible and comes apart realistically.

  • MAX-FX engine is built from the ground up to take full advantage of 3D acceleration. There is no software renderer in the game. MAX-FX is fully optimized for PIII's SSE instruction set.

  • Single Player only. Game completion unlocks special modes.
