Cosmos Cop

Cosmos Cop is a pseudo-3D into-the-screen shoot 'em up that is similar to Sega's Space Harrier. However, the game experiences a lot of image breakup on the screen due to the NES's limited capability of handling first-person scaling.[2]FireHawk

Fun House
1990
The general gameplay concept is that each level is like a child's version of The Running Man with a basic top-down view. Players must throw tomatoes skillfully at a series of easy-to-hit targets. Some elements of the game are indirectly taken from the classic arcade game Pole Position (except that the player does not have the option to play as a Formula One vehicle). In order to make it to the next level, the player must make it from the starting line to the finish within the time limit with a young child on inline skates. Otherwise, the player loses a chance and the player must start the stage over again. The host of the televised game show, J. D. Roth, congratulates players for winning a stage while taunting the player with late 1980s/early 1990s sarcasm when he loses a "chance." Icy floors and slime colored ramps offer an additional challenge to the player. There are 72 rooms in the entire Fun House; with targets that are either numbered or given a generic target graphic. Each room has a name that usually givesGalactic Crusader

The game, presumably set in Peru, was noted for the varied terrain below, which included forests, airstrips, bases, and mysterious Nazca Line-like drawings on the groundIkari III: The Rescue

The presidential candidate's daughter has been kidnapped! It is your job to get past enemy lines and rescue her. This is the third game in the Ikari Warriors series, and features similar arcade/action gameplay. The screen is a top down view which scrolls vertically, with numerous bad guys to defeat. You start the game with just your fists, and as the levels progress you can find weapons and other objects to help you out.Tommy Thunder
Tommy Thunder was a third person shooter in development for the Nintendo 64 (and later for the PSX too) from Player 1 studios, but it was never released and we never got many informations about it. In November 2007, a dump was found on the internet.Atari Masterpieces Vol. II

Alpha Roid is a simple but great combination of a shump and a fighting game. After flying through space you must perform hand-to-hand combat with an equally determined enemy in order to get your weapon upgrades.Battle Ship Clapton II

In this basic, top-down shoot-em-up set in space the player can move the ship anywhere on the screen to shoot the incoming enemy ships. There are also static mines that do not attack the player but explode when collided with. As time goes on different types of enemy ship target the player and more of them to shoot.Exa Innova

Exa Innova
1984
I believe this is Compile's first vertically scrolling shooting game, and contains many elements they'd later incorporate into the Zanac / Aleste series. The title screen credits "Programmers-3" but I have seen re-releases crediting Compile. Plus, the sprite for the enemy that splits into two halves is exactly the same as the one in Zanac!Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit

Gather all the fruit, in a specific order, and then the key which will allow you to unlock the door to the next level. Movement of foes is very predictable as they move in a circular fashion, allowing you to easily move around them.Aleste Gaiden

Aleste Gaiden
1989
Aleste Gaiden is a vertical shoot 'em up video game developed by Compile in 1989. It was released onto MSX2 in Japan only. It was originally released as part of the Disc Station Special Vol. 4. As it's title implies, it is a spin-off which retells the story of the first game in a different setting.Final Zone Wolf

Final Zone Wolf
1987
Final Zone is an overhead run-'n-gun action game like Capcom's Commando, but it's not just that. The program contains an extensive story with lots and lots of dialog between each map. The game tells the story of the special forces team Black Cobra, on a mission to prevent a devastating missile attack from being launched. While the squad consists of five characters, the player is always in control of the leader, Harward Bowie. Before each stage, however, two of the others can be picked as sidekicks.
