Featuring funky chip music and plasmatronic backgrounds, Swarm Racer is nothing but pure retro gaming goodness!

How to Play

The object of Swarm Racer is to collect all of the gems on each track as fast as possible. You can control the size of your swarm using Z and X. Spread out to collect a whole bunch of gems, or regroup to duck around a tight corner. If you get a fast time, you win a trophy depending on how fast you were. See if you can collect all eight gold trophies. Bet you cant!

Kairuga
Genre: Shooter
Groesse: 8 MB
Beschreibung:

pc fanmade version von ikaruga bei welchem das wechseln der polaritaet das feature is welches es besonders macht...

The game is a tribute to Ikaruga, a legendary shmup. It mimics the polarity and chaining system, while the gameplay is slightly altered. The game only has 1 level because of lack of interest to make a full fledged 5 level tribute to the original; however,
I think its fine the way it is, and I have other projects to work on. If you have played Ikaruga before, then you wont be too alienated from the concept. If you havent, I suggest you read the README_FIRST file included in the download.
The controls were originally the japanese standard ZXC but due to problems for foreign keyboards the default was changed to ASD and custom controls are in place.

Wings of Megaira
Genre: Shooter
Groesse: 28 MB
Beschreibung:
sehr professionell gemacht...inklusive tutorial welches man sich auf jednefall mal kurz anschaun sollte...
bei mir fehlt leider der sound...weiss nicht ob das normal ist oder bloss an meinem rechner liegt...

Review

Wings of Megaira is a classically styled top-down shooter in which you control a fighter ship against fast-moving waves of alien enemies. Players can fly solo, or join forces for a two-player cooperative fight using the keyboard or a joystick. Much like its arcade predecessors, Wings of Megaira requires lightning fast reaction times and quick thinking to succeed. Although the games environments are rendered in full 3D, the game controls in a simple 2D fashion.

Players have access to three types of weapons that grow more powerful with use, allowing for multiple play styles and strategies. Although outfitted with a machine gun to begin with, players can steal the souls of their enemies, which takes the enemys weapon type. The weapon type an enemy carries is illustrated by the color of that enemy, red being a machinegun type, blue a laser type, and green a grenade type. Powerups will also appear in the midst of an enemys destruction to aid the player towards their goal.

Players can also activate a shift in time, when the world slows down to a crawl while the player massacres the momentarily sluggish enemies. The number of enemies destroyed during a time shift multiplies the payoff.

Babo Violent 2
Genre: top down shooter (online spielbar)
Groesse: 9 MB
Beschreibung:
blutiger top down shooter mit schicker 3d grafik....

BaboViolent 2 is a freeware game developed by the cool Canadian crew that makes up RndLabs. The game was released upon the world in October 2006 as a test of a network library. However, the fact that it was simply a test didnt deter the crowd that flocked to play it.

BV2 is a top down shooter where you control a "Babo," a red or blue orb that rolls around the screen with one of six weapons attached to it. The intuitive keyboard + mouse interface helps you get into the thick of the action as quick as possible. Its as simple as joining one of the many active servers and hitting F. You are immediately dropped into the action and start tossing grenades and molotov cocktails at anything that moves while firing to stay alive.


The success of the game is due in large part to its very easy and immersive gameplay. However, game balance should also receive its due credit for the games popularity. Damage settings, weapon ranges, firing rates, and medkits have all been tweaked to provide wonderful balance. There is no killer combination that runs the show... anyone and everyone is a contender with whatever weapon they choose to master.

What really sets people above the rest in BV2 isnt the ability to kill but the ability to stay alive.
Lots of blood

    * Game Features: Battle in 13 maps suited for 2 to 32 players.
    * Try different game types like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch
      and Capture the Flag.
    * Master all 6 weapons, grenades and more.
    * Easily find games with a convenient server list.
    * Featuring music from Lamb of God.

Rolling Madness 3D
Genre: Geschick
Groesse: 17 MB
Beschreibung:

super marble madness remake...
super fluessige sauber programmierte grafik und sehr gute steuerung...
allerdings is der schwieigkeitsgrad heute wie damals (1984) ab dem 3ten level etwas happig...
desweiteren laessr sich die kamera perspektive veraendern...

Heres my attempt at remaking the classic 1984 arcade game Marble Madness by Atari. The graphics are slightly enhanced to bring them on par with modern standards: there is now a full 3D mode in addition to the usual isometric perspective one, a "pastel drawing" rendering mode and various camera placement options.

The 3D engine is based on OpenGL, SDL takes care of the interaction with the OS and FMOD is used for sound. This means the game is as multi platform as possible, and non windows builds should be fairly straightforward.

The whole 6 level world is present, as you can see from the screen shots. To download the game just click on the box in the right pane. Its free and nag-free, and comes with an installer.

Enjoy!

Trackballs
Genre: Geschick / angelehnt an Marble Madness
Groesse: 12 MB (auch fuer linux)
Beschreibung:

geschicklichkeitsspiel in dem man wie bei marble madness ne murmel ins ziel bringen muss...mit leertaste kann man auch huepfen...

anmerkung:bei mir laesst sich das spiel nur mit 16 bit zocken..wenn ich im menue 32 bit einstell stuerzt das spiel ab...

Trackballs is a marble game inspired by the 80?s Atari classic Marble Madness.

By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth filled with sharp objecs, pools of acid, and other obstacles the player collects points. When the destination is reached you continue on to the next, more difficult level. - unless the time runs out.

Unlike marble madness the game uses 3D graphics even though the original game had no real use for it. Also the game is fully programmable with a scripting extension (Guile), and includes a level editor with which to easily create new levels.

Rumble Box
Genre: 3D beat em up
Groesse: 12 MB

3d beat em up ei dem alle aus kloetzchen sind...killt man gegner bleiben die kloetzchen liegen...
am besten mal kurz das gameplay video anschaun....

Rumble Box Review

Rumble Box is a fast paced 3D action beat-em-up with a unique premise:
all of the characters are made of simple objects which stay around
in the level even after the character is defeated. The objects pile up,
changing the gameplay landscape and altering your combat tactics.
The game takes place inside a giant box, and the ultimate goal
of the game is to pile up enough defeated enemies to get out of the box.
