star 8The game of Astro Fighter consists of 4 waves and a refueling stage, which are then repeated with increasingly higher difficulty. The player's task is to eliminate the four successive waves of different types of attacking craft, while avoiding being hit by missiles and bombs, and then refuel by shooting the 'GS' ship before repeating the process. The player starts with 3 lives and receives a bonus life on reaching a score of 5000. 300 bonus points are received for shooting each 6 falling bombs and for 950 for hitting the GS ship accurately on the first shot. A very large bonus of 10,000 is given for getting through 4 waves and refueling by using exactly 2 shots more than the minimum needed. As the higher levels of Astro Fighter are difficult to survive consistently, even for the best players, the highest scores have been achieved by the achieving the 10,000 bonus deliberately.Eliminator

star 7.2The Next Space is a vertically scrolling Shoot 'em Up released in 1989 by SNK for Arcades. The game is a typical scrolling shooter, with two buttons used for the primary shot and secondary shot respectively. Red capsules will leave "S" icons which will raise the ship's speed. Along the way the player will also find blue capsules which will release power-ups which equip different secondary shots into the ship. There are nine different secondary shots available, each represented by a different letter. By shooting the power-up icons the player will cycle between the letters, allowing to equip the desired weapon. Weapons don't stack, so picking up more icons of the same letter won't raise the player's firepower.Street Football

Risky Challenge is a story-based puzzle game running on Irem's M-90 arcade system. Vic and Vinnie are professional treasure hunters, who, one day went down deep into the dungeon in search of treasure belonging to an ancient kingdom. While they were exploring, an earthquake causes the dungeon to collapse, trapping them inside. Now they must reach the top by making use of falling blocks. Like Tetris, these blocks can be rotated left or right and dropped down, and a life is lost when a stack of blocks reach beyond the top of each screen. Using these blocks, guide the protagonists through each stage, being careful not to trap them. Occasionally, a bomb will fall, and this can be used to destroy unwanted blocks or any monsters on screen. The two protagonists will always be on the move, so watch where they are going. Spend too much time in each of the stages, and water will rise up from the bottom of the screen. Lives are also lost when Vic or Vinnie get crushed by a falling block, they come into contact with a monster,Prime Time Figther

1979
Space Guerilla
1979
Space Guerrilla is a fixed-screen shooter in the vein of Space Invaders but with some interesting twists. The player controls their tank at the bottom of the screen and must prevent an alien invasion. Instead of the typical four bunkers, there are three pieces of scenery with buildings. The attract screen starts with a little animation of aliens landing on one of them and peeing. Another difference with the typical Space Invaders clone is that while the ships fly in a block formation, they don't go back and forth between the screen boundaries. Instead they fly past and go out of view again, before flying back. Some ships also dive down towards the bottom of the screen like in Galaxian. When the player loses all their lives the game is lost.Adventure Canoe
