I'm busy right now so don't have time to find the link, but will later if you haven't replied. I'm sure there are a few R-Type freebies amongst all the games we've posted over the last year. (S-Type for example, plus I’ve listed all the space arientated games you can download from XTC Abandonware. You’ll probably require DOSBox for a lot of them to work, but not all. I used to love R-Type and played it so much my hands used to hurt. You can get R-type for free now. There are several sites you can download it from. The following is a decent one, though you will get a window popping up that asks for donations. the download is free: <a href="http://www.xtcabandonware.com/game.php?id=794">Get R-Type HERE</a> Free games synopsis: <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4534">You can find the Free Games Synopsis HERE</a> <ul> <blockquote>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</blockquote> </ul> XTC Abandonware have a massive list of space shooters, some of which will be included in the free games project and some that already have been: Spaceshooter games found on XTC Abandonware: Aliants: The Desperate Battle for Earth Astro Dodge Astrotit Attack on Altair Bedlam Blort!

Thanks for standing in for me this week. Starting to get a little better. :) All four games have some interesting functions. Looking forwards to checking these out once I've caught up with the rest of this weeks games. :) WR reverseOrder on "Week 49 - Free Games for the Weekday - Japanese Spaceship Games by Isshiki" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6004#post-62517 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:29:43 +0000 reverseOrder 62517@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ These games are all spaceship shooters with interesting and unique features so they are all worth checking out. All the games are on the same page so the link to the download are at the bottom of this post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ref-Lect Ball Ref-Lect Ball is a spaceship shooter with an interesting twist. You have 1 minute to shoot as many enemies as possible to get the highest score. Luckily enemies don't shoot you. Unfortunately, any of your shots that hit the enemy gets reflected back which you have to avoid. Controls: Move - Arrow keys Shoot - Z Pause - P Exit - Esc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gradle Unison Gradle Unison is some kind of abstract bullet avoidance game. Your ship can only move by teleporting and you are trying to avoid an endless barrage of bullets that are fired at you. Each time you teleport you also create a shockwave at the location you teleport to which destroys bullets and increases your score. The size of the shockwave depends on the distance you travel from the previous location, so traveling a further distance creates a larger shockwave. Controls: Teleport/Create Shockwave - Left Click or Z Pause - P Exit - Esc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Z-Lock Here is a suprisingly good game with an interesting concept. The idea is that the more enemies lock on to you the more powerful you become. Of course they are probably shooting at you so you have to move away from the lock-on but then you become less powerful. You can also use the X key to focus all enemy lock-on targets on your ship. This simutaneously makes you super powerful but also causing all enemies to shoot you at your current location (it also has to cool down after use). This game has mutiple levels and six different game modes. Normal-mode: You can shoot a weak shot even when not locked on by the enemy. Concept-mode: You can't shoot when not locked on, the Z key automatically functions as the X key, and your gun can overheat. Original-mode: You can't shoot when not locked on. Hidden-mode: Enemy bullets gradually disappear (they can still hit you when invisible). Score attack: Try to get a high score in 3 minutes. Time attack: Try to get the lowest time to obtain 1 million points. Controls: Move - Arrow keys or WASD Shoot - Z or / Capture Lock-on - X or \ Pause - P Exit - Esc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Area 2048 Area 2048 is a spaceship arena shooter. Kill all enemies in an area to reach the next area. Every 10 levels is a boss fight. You have a special attack bar that can fill up to four levels. When you press the X key you activate a special attack that fires a massive number of bullets at once. There are three different difficulty settings. Controls: Move - Arrow keys Shoot - Z Special - X Pause - P Exit - Esc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download (each 6 MB or less): <a href="http://homepage2.nifty.com/isshiki/prog_win_d.html" rel="nofollow">http://homepage2.nifty.com/isshiki/prog_win_d.html</a> <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://homepage2.nifty.com/isshiki/prog_win_d.html&ei=QPmJStKiC42usgOq3JHODQ&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://homepage2.nifty.com/isshiki/prog_win_d.html%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-ca">Google Translated Page</a>
