Power Manga 7Mb
Quote by TLK Games - "Power Manga, developed by TLK Games, belongs already to the legacy of the space adventure. It is one of the best Arcade Games developed under the free GNU General Public License. The present version for Windows is as neat as exciting; 42 levels, more than 200 sprites, some 14 guards that you must destroy with an arsenal of impressive space fight weaponry geared to your handy and fast patrol spaceship."
Power Manga is a vertical scrolling 2D shooter that has similarities to Galaxian. There are some noteworthy features, especially the sound effects and explosions! Unlike many similar games it is very playable and worth a lot more than the games that get you shot out of the game within seconds! The initial difficulty level isn’t too high, which is otherwise often a problem with these sorts of vertical shooters!
The graphics are very well defined - bright, colorful and impressive. The game runs by default windowed at 640x400 resolution. Setting your desktop background to a lower resolution before running the game will increase the game default Window size onscreen.
If you feel comfortable modifying the config file (found in the tlkgames folder within the PowerManga folder) with Notepad, change the #f to #t alongside full screen and re-save to run the game full screen. You can also modify the game difficulty setting here as well if you wish.
Alternatively, just press the 'F ' key when the game is running to switch screen modes!
The music is good, and as mentioned, the sound effects are really outstanding - especially with speakers turned well up!
The Windows installer is complete, so you don’t need to download sld or similar libraries. The game is joystick and presumably gamepad compatible as well. With keyboard control, use Arrow keys to move and Spacebar to shoot. CTRL key acquires activated options. 'Enter' key to select on menu.
A couple of points to note! The share 'part' of the download filename means free to share with anyone! And clicking on 'order' on the game menu simply brings up a free to distribute and modify message! So, yes, you do get the full game free!
Other TLK games are trial/buy. I'd get this now while it's still free!
