Duke Nukem IIDuke Nukem is back. Captured by an alien foe in the middle of promoting his best-selling book, “Why I’m So Great”, Duke must once more defeat the forces of evil to save himself from the knowledge-stealing Rigelatins, and ultimately prove his book’s namesake. In this sequel to the 1991 high-octane, bot-busting video game, Duke Nukem, the King of Action must blast, cannon, missile and flame his way to victory - a victory that would stop the secrets of both ass-kicking and bubblegum from falling into the wrong hands.Action Science fiction
R-TypeR-Type is set in the 22nd century, and the player flies a futuristic fighter craft called the R-9a "Arrowhead", named for its shape, and because it is the ninth model in the 'R' series of fighter craft (but it is the first of the series to actually be used in combat; the previous models were all prototypes). The mission is to 'blast off and strike the evil Bydo Empire'. The R- in the series title originally stood for "ray", as in a ray of light. It was a reference to the many different types of ray-like weapons in the first R-Type. his was later retconned in R-Type Final to refer specifically to the production code as well as a term of endearment for the player fighter craft, the "Round Canopy".
The original R-Type was well received by most gaming critics. However, it was also infamous for its relentless difficulty. It earned 7th place in IGN's Top 10 most difficult games to beat. The gameplay of R-Type is noticeably distinct among shoot 'em ups. Invariably the player will lose, not because of an inequality in firepower, but because of the design of the levels themselves. There is usually a 'correct' way to get through a level, but players must learn these by experience - i.e. by losing and restarting from earlier in the level. The game innovated with its weapon system compared to contemporary shooters, featuring a chargeable shot (beam-meter), and detachable 'force' pod; levels were designed to require different tactics and ideal weapons (air-air, diagonal, or air-ground laser).Action Science fiction

Golden AxeProgress is made through the game by fighting through Death Adder's henchmen, including men armed with clubs and maces, skeleton warriors, and knights. Players are able to attack using their weapon, jump and cast spells that hurt all enemies on the screen. The force of this magic depends on the number of "bars" of magic power currently available. The bars are filled by collecting blue 'magic potions' attained by kicking little sprites who then drop the potions. These sprites appear during regular levels and during bonus stages in between levels. The male warrior Ax is able to cast earth spells. The dwarf Gilius, casts lightning spells and the female warrior Tyris casts fire magic. Each character has a different number of maximum magic bars and varying ranges of attack.
Various steeds known as bizarrians are found in the game. These can be ridden when the enemy rider is knocked off, or if one is found dormant. The least powerful steed is known as the Cockatrice, which can be used to knock down enemies with a swipe of its tail. The more powerful dragon, which can either shoot fireballs or breathe fire, is found later in the game.Action Fantasy
Bubble Bobble NostalgieA remake of the famous Japanese game about dragons releasing green bubbles, developed by Russian programmers and released by the notorious Alawar Entertainment studio. Yes, yes, the same one that created and released the well-known Farm Frenzy and the Treasures of Montezuma.
The gameplay is simple. We control a green dragon (and in the game mode for two - also blue), which shoots green bubbles at enemies, and as soon as the enemies hit them, they immediately find themselves in a trap, and we calmly pop these bubbles as a dragon. And from the enemies we get their leftovers in the form of various kinds of food: from fruits to a mug of beer, which also appear as a randomly appearing bonus. There are only 8 enemies - these are clockwork toys familiar to us from the original, and weirdos in a white cloak, and brown ghosts similar to octopuses, and flying monsters with a propeller, and jumpers, and fluffy monsters, and sorcerers, and spiders. If clockwork toys, propeller monsters and octopuses are not particularly dangerous, and they can be easily killed, then here are the rest to be wary of. You should especially be wary of types in white robes and sorcerers who, when they meet you, launch fireballs at you. Sometimes there are several of them at the levels. In some levels, it happens that the monsters are in a small room of platforms, the path to which either leads to a trap or does not exist at all. Then bubbles with lightning come to the rescue, with the help of which you can instantly kill enemies. And if there is open space at the same time, then you can use bubbles with water, crushing enemies when interacting with the player, and with fire, leaving behind traps that kill enemies in the form of a fire floor.
At levels, bubbles with letters appear from time to time, with which you can make a word and teleport to an empty room without enemies, where you will receive prizes in the form of bonuses and an increase in a unit of health.Action
