Atmospheric

Atmospheric side shooter. They tool ideas from well-established products like Raiden and Star Wars. Setting is off and overall not that great. But cannot complain it’s free.

Not a fan.

The last of the Apogee line before they became 3D Realms and, to be honest...I'm not really a fan of this game. Now, granted, I'm not exactly the best at it either, but even so, the bosses at the end of each stage are way too damn tough, and it doesn't seem to matter what difficulty you've got the game on, or what attachments you buy for your ship.

....and there it goes

With Xbox game pad plugged in I accidentally selected the "SNES" option and was never heard from again. The only thing that could be free-er than this is a copy of "Awake!"
