Dork's Dilemma

Plasma rocket failure.  A space shattering collision with a planetoid form not known to any civilized solar system and a dazed, confused Dork awakens to find his disabled spaceship stripped and hidden through the underworld kingdom of the evil little Zomwats

Zobwats?  Zobwats!  Dark little creatures living in an underground maze.

And they told Dork spacetravel was supposed to be fun.

Tycoon Tex

Tycoon Tex is a 'rootin', 'tootin' oil tycoon in the true wild west tradition.  Guns blazing, eyes gazing, the faster he can make his pipeline patrol the quicker he can add to his bank balance.

Sand, ice or snow can't halt Tex's speedy draw as he fights off the dangers of falling bombs, arrows, surface missiles and crash explosives.  And if he's a second too slow - **!!?? BOOM - one more leak, one barrel less to add to his sticky hoard.

Look out JR you ain't seen nothing yet!

Xargon Wars

A battle spectacular in the classic mould - defend your mother planet from the alien hordes.  Put to test your skills as gunnery commander as the space invaders launch wave after wave of laser bombs.  Will your nerve last out and reflexes quicken as each success you attain is met by an even faster attack the following level.

Petals of Doom

Trapped within an eerie space cavern, the only way home is to help the flower plantation reach full growth.  Only then will energy curtains blocking your way finally disappear.  But, true to all classic space shoot-outs, the plan-hating bugs are out to stamp your flowers to the ground.  See the free world again - only if your trigger finger can match the challenge.
