The five thematically completely different worlds are bulging with a variety of different challenges and crowned with dramatic boss fights. There is much to discover: extra weapons, power-ups, score-multipliers – that’s how you are guaranteed enough fun to last for ages and ages. Overall, RESHOOT R is all about survival in order to achieve the highest score. Highscores are stored locally, though as an alternative you can compare your score with other space fighters which is possible via a global highscore table. The animations reach a level seldom seen on the Amiga. Hundreds of colours, smooth 50 Hz parallax scrolling, silky smooth animations paired with explosive sounds and music that drives the game forward making RESHOOT R the most exciting Shoot’em-Up on the Amiga today. RESHOOT R makes extensive use of the AGA chipset and uses the high powered features of an Amiga 1200, 4000 or CD32 to take them right up to their limits. Further system extensions and add-ons are, as a result, unnecessary. One download version and two other game Probably the best Amiga shooter to date...shows what an AGA amiga is capable of. Game is a self booting HDF so use on emulators is nice and easy, can be run on real hardware with some jigging about. If you like these games support the devs...buy it. [hide][Hidden Content]]

This particular little bundle's a sideways scrolling affair, taking you through six levels of the usual shoot em-up adversaries - flying baddies, ground baddies, and end of level baddies - where you simply try to survive for as long as possible. Everything about the game is average. There are a couple of nice graphic effects, but for the most part it looks decidedly home made. Powder has no new ideas and only manages to lift itself slightly from mediocrity by allowing the player to change weapons. Shoot-em ups may be the mainstay of simple, addictive gaming but they really need to be fun and enjoyable. Powder is worth a try if you are fan of the genre. [hide][Hidden Content]]

An unofficial update to the stunning, intense and often maligned shoot-em-up. A WHDLoad version, CD32 version and non-WHDLoad setup is included for your convenience. The WHDLoad version is recommended due to additional stability, bug fixes, trainers and the ability to quit back to Workbench. The CD32 version may be bootable on a CDTV, if you've upgraded both your RAM and Kickstart. Features All five levels are unlocked from the start. The fifth and final level can be played in 'rookie' mode. 'Waggle' to select weapon is disabled (use space or button 2). Note this is disabled whether or not the option is selected on WHDLoad version. Compatible with the WHDLoad Slave. Level 5 no longer crashes when quitting or skipping [hide][Hidden Content]]

An update - primarily to Apidya's menu system, that adds the following features: AUTOFIRE: From the 1.1 update! Note that the charge function still operates, so this does make the game a fair bit easier. If you prefer to play without auto fire, the previous 1.0 version is included - just replace "data" with "data-original" LIVES: The maximum starting number of lives has been increased to seven. GAME HINTS: Replaces the 'joypad/joystick' feature (which had no tangible in-game effect), simply shows you a list of hints about secrets in the game. WORLD SELECT: Mostly replaces the music player, you can start from any world in the game or the end credits. You can still listen to the first song of each world with this menu. There's also a minor fix related to simultaneous play on levels 3, 4 and 5, though I'm not certain that this is a bug with the original version. In any case it didn't seem to be present on the Wanted Team crack version. WHDLoad install is by John Girvin. I tried - but ultimately failed - to port the changes to a cracked ADF copy. If someone can help with that, I'd be much obliged! [hide][Hidden Content]]

Tinyus is exactly the game I wanted on the Amiga back when I had played the C64 version but (as you most probably know) there weren’t all that many games of that genre on the Amiga at the time and those that were there sucked balls. From the moment I loaded up the game till I switched It off hours later left me with a feeling that this version would have blown me out of the water back in the 80s, it is as near perfect as it could be and while it runs a bit slow on the Amiga 500 it is still not a problem gameplay-wise and as yes, the arcade also got slowdowns which mean most won’t even notice it. That said, the framerate on the Amiga 1200 is like a dream and most certainly the best version I have seen of Nemesis ever. The boss fights are pixel-perfect and I just can’t get over how good this port is, it is running in 50 frames per second, it has sound fx and music at the same time and the number of colors and objects on the screen raises a few questions why we had so many shitty sidescroller shooters in the 80s on the Amiga, it might be a bit unfair to many Amiga 500 games but in my opinion, the first good sidescroller was Silkworm and after that, we got a few other really good ones like Agony, Project X and finally Disposable Hero.

Deep Star’s game engine features some enhancements and looks very polished overall. The parallax effects in particular are very nice. The game comes with a shop, just like Harrier Strike and Steel Eagle. But also the game comes with some thumping music by Mark Wilson. The music originally was thought to have been previously unheard, but it turns out the author of GTW cannot browse HVSC very well, and the tunes were already in HVSC since 1998 (ripped way back in 1997). Thanks to Ian Coog for confirming this!. The game had 3 levels (not 2 – thanks Dink!) in total produced with mid-level guardians to try and destroy. The game was being written for Players, but sadly at this time people were starting to get bored of space shooters and as a result it was decided not to release the game. It was again offered to Julian Jones for his Fun Factory label in 1992 (which you can see from the letter to Julian). Fun Factory never quite got to release any C64 games though and Deep Star was laid to rest. It’s a shame that no-one picked up the game to release, or even a magazine cover could feature the game – as it has meant rotting away on a disk for about 23 years. Until now that is – we are very proud to present the game for the first time thanks to Duncan going through his work disks. A huge thank you as well to Vinny Mainolfi who helped to turn off the originally defaulted cheat mode and getting the game to start from the title screen (which was hidden from the frozen preview due to the cheat).

Pilot briefing: take control of your GR9 harrier jet and navigate through the terrorist occupied territory. Your task is to clear the way for ground forces by destroying as many of their land and air defences as possible. The GR9 Harrier can be controlled with a joystick connected to port 2 and the run stop key will pause the assault at any point when the player is in control of the plane. Pressing the Q key from pause mode will abort the current mission. GR9 Strike Force was developed for the Retro Reunited event (12th to 13th September 2009) in Huddersfield, U.K. and stars the lucky winner of a door prize at the event, who was given a silly hat to wear before being photographed, converted and inserted into the game (and "loading" picture) live at the event by T.M.R! Developed by Cosine at the recent Retro Reunited event, GR9 Strike Force is a shoot-'em-up on the Commodore 64. Your mission is to go into enemy territory and take out their land and air defences, paving the way for your ground forces to move in. Plans are already in place for an update, so keep an eye on Cosine for further news. [hide][Hidden Content]]

The Repugnant Swarm were vanquished at Stercore 64 – see Stercore XD for further reference and possibly a headache - but, after an extensive period of wound licking, want revenge for the humiliation they’ve suffered at Earth’s hand. They’ve also learnt from their previous mistakes because, rather than appearing at once, they are instead sending attack craft in one at a time via long distance translation jumps, terminating in the proximity of Earth Station 544D52. The Death Weapon has been sent along to defend that sector, armed to the teeth and operated by the best that Earth’s forces have to offer... you. Since the incoming craft aren’t entirely corporeal on arrival - they won't move and give off an uncanny light – you can’t collide with them, but your bullets can and that’s worth doing both to keep things under control during the battle (a busy sector of space makes avoiding collisions more difficult) and to earn some extra points for your trouble. Using the joystick on its own will send the Death Weapon in the appropriate direction and bullets streaming in the opposite one, so in order to fire forwards it’s necessary to hold the button down whilst moving.

Our friendly country has been invaded! It's up to you to pilot our latest drone and strike back at our enemy using both bombs and AA missiles. Cats need aid, so on bonus stages drop aid packages for them for bonus points. The drone is protected by armour, so can withstand 6 hits before becoming vulnerable. On completion of a stage, your armour will be partially repaired, and all your ammo will be replenished. Watch out for anti-aircraft guns and SAM launchers. Destroy trucks to gain more ammo. If you run out of ammo, don't worry; a friendly parachute will drop a fresh supply. Look out for air drops; they will drop either extra ammo, or an armour repair. Bonus points are awarded if a friendly farmer in his tractor manages to tow away a destroyed vehicle. If the turret of a destroyed tank lands on another vehicle and destroys it, you gain an extra 100 points. Controls: Joystick in port 2, or Keyboard: S - Up. X - Down. < - Left. > - Right. SPACE - tap to drop a bomb (or aid package on bonus stages), or hold down to switch to air-2-air mode. Once locked onto an aircraft, release button to shoot an AA missile; alternatively, hold down the button to auto-launch the missile. P - pause game; this can be reconfigured on the Options screen. Key Features of Strikeback: 4 stages, each with a separate theme. Bonus stages, dropping aid for cats. Three difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, Hard. Settings and high-score save/load. PAL and NTSC compatible. [hide][Hidden Content]]

In 1990 Software Business with development by The Whiz Kidz, released the side-scrolling shoot em up Ziriax for the Amiga, which was very similar to games such as R-Type or even Gradius. This game featured an action packed experience with five stages of shoot em up gameplay with each level containing an end of level boss. It's just a shame that during its many years of release not only was there not a fully working ADF of the game but according to some it has a few in game issues of its own... Thankfully however the Amiga community has stepped forward and as of this moment Ross has released the Ziriax 100% (Ultimate Edition); a 100% ADF working version of the 1990 game by "The Whiz Kidz", trained and enhanced, which he says is actually the only full working version existing. The game makes use of the second joystick button for weapon selection, memory above 512kb to cache data to cut down loading, a complete trainer option screen [+6] with a selectable new "max power-up", start level, invincibility and finally a proper end of the game can be reached.... So yes a very good Amiga addition indeed and well worth a download! [hide][Hidden Content]]

An old-fashioned horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up in the R-Type vein. Compared to the First-Person Shooters, it might seem quaint, but it's interesting to see this style done using later Amiga hardware capabilities and features. There are 3 different ships on offer, as part of a high level of customisability, including an Arcade mode with bonus fruit, variable colour explosions, and variable background detail for those who find that the most colourful version obscures some of the enemies. There are two different routes through each level, but either way results in hordes of enemies to take on - horizontally scrolling shooters tend to be tricky, due to the amount of things happening on screen at once. Like so many FPSs but so few scrolling shooters, you can design your own levels as well. Minimum is AGA/030 CPU/8MB Ram.

Tried this some time ago, but couldn't get an answer last time. I'm looking to see if anyone has dumped this particular version of Cotton for the Sharp X68000, it was run as a limited release and a promotion leading up to Cotton Reboot, which came out in 2021. I've seen their Ys I & II Rerelease dumped online, but not this one. Although that has EVERYTHING scanned. I'm mainly just looking for the Rom, though everything else scanned would be awesome. If anyone out there knows anyone who has this game that could possibly get it dumped, or has a Rom of it please let me know. Thank you. Sharp X68000 Aftermarket Rom Dumps are woefully undocumented, and that really needs to change. I've also posted this topic before on Reddit as well. If you look up Cotton, Sharp X68000, and 2019 on Google I'm literally one of the first search results on this. O_O

1993 Shenandoah is Krister Karlsson’s legacy to the gaming world; a project that began in 1992 but one that is launching on Nintendo Switch today, just a little bit later than anticipated at the time. As the title suggests, 1993 was the year that 1993 Shenandoah was supposed to be released, but teenage drama split the youthful team apart and the game never saw the light of day until some 20 years later. Fast forward to 2015, and Krister gathered a motley crew of less youthful people to convert the original game to a more modern game engine – but still only using the original graphics, sound, and effects from the Amiga production. Despite its roots as a game developed for the Amiga, 1993 Shenandoah can be played by 4 players simultaneously – something we could only have dreamed of back in the days when games were sold on a floppy disc, social media wasn’t invented and people used phones for actually speaking to each other.

Edge Grinder is a game were you grind along edges. Well, technically it’s a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up, with lots of alien enemies to shoot at while roaming through a corridor in space. To get that sweet high score, however, the ship has to fly as close as possible along the floor or ceiling – being there keeps the score display counting up constantly. That’s almost more rewarding than shooting the enemies (and often offers a good way to dodge them if necessary), since you got only one weapon with no upgrade capabilities at your disposal, and most aliens take a fair amount of abuse before detonating. As everyone knows, in space they do so without making a sound – although with the Commodore 64 that is much more out of technological convenience than any consideration of the physical realities. The game has no sound effects at all, but a cool SID chiptune. Together with the slightly metallic looking graphics Commodore’s 8-bit box was famous for, Edge Grinder takes you right back to the late 1980s. [hide][Hidden Content]]

SkillGrid is an endless score-attack vertical shoot 'em up for AGA Amigas developed by Retream, featuring frenetic, tactical gameplay and comprising of a variety of different sub-games, boss battles and in-depth scoring mechanics. Based on an original concept, SkillGrid faces the player against infinite waves of enemies to kill, bonuses and upgrades to collect (cyan cells) and maluses to avoid (yellow cells). Designed for AGA Amigas only, the game features three-layer parallax variable-speed scrolling (2 of which generated procedurally), 8-bit alpha channel transparencies and real-time palette changes, highscore saving, beautifully designed sprites with pixel-perfect collision detection, high quality prog-rock music in the form of lossless-packed 8 bit stereo 28.9 kHz samples and even in-game speech warnings (from the developer himself)!
