Fight off a robotic alien invasion in this Gundam-like shooter.

An isometric shooter in the same vein as Battletech, but with its own userideas on mecha combat. Battletech is better.

Return of the Jedi is a scrolling shoot-em-up based on the legendary Star Wars trilogy (specifically, the third film, 'Episode VI: Return of the Jedi') and - unlike its vector-based prequel - is rendered in an isometric forced-perspective viewpoint, similar to that pioneered in Sega's 1982 classic, "Zaxxon".

The ultimate aim of the game is to reach and destroy the Death Star and escape alive. Success is achieved by surviving an 'attack wave', which consists of four different scenes. Play switches between Endor and space-based scenes, with each one putting the player in control of a different vehicle from the movie.

The scenes are based on three distinct locations taken from the original movie. They are: The forest moon of Endor, Attack on the Death Star, and Space battle.

* SCENE 1: Speeder Bike chase on Endor as Princess Leia. The goal is to reach the Ewok village alive.

* SCENE 2: Scout Walker chase on Endor as Chewbacca. The goal is to reach the shield generator.

* SCENE 3: Millennium Falcon attack on Death Star as Lando. The goal is to reach and destroy the Death Star power reactor.

* SCENE 4: Millennium Falcon escape from exploding Death Star. The goal is to escape the exploding Death Star.

* SPLIT SCENE: Play switches between scenes 2 and 3.

The scenes loop for as long as the player has lives remaining; although to increase variety, the order in which they appear is randomised as play progresses. Each successive wave increases in difficulty.

Firestorm is a mission-based shooter played from an isometric perspective. Structured similarly to games like Desert Strike and Jungle Strike.

As players embark on each mission, they will have to monitor two horizontal gauges indicating fuel and damage. An aerial map is also available to help players isolate targets while in flight.

The inhabitants of Ralfredacc, a gigantic death orb, have stockpiled an impressive arsenal of alien weaponry which they plan to use to annihilate all life on Earth - as vengeance for being banished years before. What we need now is a top-notch Byupo probe pilot with a quick trigger finger and the guts to see this thing through.

Quite impressive graphically, think of Zaxxon for the '90's, but the awkward perspective hampers gameplay a bit. Frustratingly hard and laden with slowdown.

The Zaxxon defense system must be destroyed in this isometric-viewed shoot 'em up which was originally hugely successful in the arcades. The game has 3 stages, first taking you through Asteroid City, which is heavily protected by aircraft, guns and missiles. Many barriers are alarmed, leaving you with limited space to progress through, and fire must constantly be dodged.

Stage two is a space shoot out against hordes of enemy aircraft - those you failed to destroy in the first part of the task. Complete this and you reach the final battle with Zaxxon, with the game looping with increased difficulty if you can survive the first time. There are 3 distinct skill levels, while controls involve using forward to dive and back to climb, in the manner of flight simulation.
