It's an old style arcade side scroller, and it's fucking hard. I got up to mission 9 before I got a headache from trying too hard. :icon32:

If you download the free version, it plays for about an hour before kicking you out, but there's a weird way around it. Before playing the game for the first time, delete the shortcut on the desktop, then go to the folder you installed the game to, Right-click on the .exe and Send To > Desktop. I don't know why, but that enables unlimited play time with the full game.

Oh, BTW, it saves your game so you can come back later.

theyd get better exposure if the games were free. I mean looks at mods, it takes forever to make a mod yet no modders charge for the mods.

I dont thats the point. They fully know they cant charge for them ahead of time and still do the work so thats why I came to that conclusion.

AFAIK, yes, all of the games on their website work that way. Now please stop derailing my thread, thanks.

Here's another good one. It's called Air Strike 3D 2. It gets pretty tough towards the end of the game. :up:

that game is pretty sweet...
would be nice if you could move and fire seperately though >:E
the guys that made that definately were neo*geo and metal slug fans.
