R-Type. Gameplay[edit] R-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.[3] This 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. Critical response[edit] The ZX Spectrum version of R-Type was awarded 9/10 in the January 1989 issue of Your Sinclair[11] and was placed at number 6 in the Your Sinclair official top 100.

You control a spaceship, which is flying across a planet and has to destroy everything in its path. There is even a slight storyline behind why you are actually doing it, and to do it is a very hard task indeed! I remember I loved this game with its great intro music when it was loading and it was just really great... Review 2: Battle Squadron.

Plot[edit] After the Xenites' defeat in the Galactic Conflict which took place in the first Xenon, they have returned with a plan to wipe out the player's history by planting four bombs in space-time areas.
The Megablaster pilot will have to fend off the bizarre wildlife around them. It is necessary to destroy the largest animal in each area as they have been fused with the bomb; once the creature is slain, the bomb is shut off. Theme and gameplay[edit] In-game screenshot (Atari ST) Xenon 2 Megablast is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. At later levels, getting credit bubbles becomes easier, as certain areas contain an endless supply of enemies – strange bee-like creatures and killer kites – which will always drop a credit bubble upon dying.
The PC version of Xenon 2 contains a cheat mode: in the graphic menu press F7, then to activate, press the "i" key while playing in order to become invincible.

Amiga Intro - Xenon 2 - Bitmap Brothers. Amiga Longplay [127] Xenon 2 - Megablast. SWIV. SWIV is a 2D vertically scrolling Shoot 'em up game originally released in 1991 for the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC home computer formats. It was converted to the Game Boy Color in 2001. In the game's own manual (for the Amiga, at least), however, it was explained that "SWIV" was both an acronym for "Special Weapons Intercept Vehicles" and also short for "Silkworm IV" (even though there was not a Silkworm II or III).
Gameplay[edit] SWIV is a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up which plays in a typical fashion to other games in its genre. The player chooses between using either a helicopter or a jeep at the beginning of the game and then plays in their chosen vehicles through scrolling levels, shooting at oncoming enemies. If two players are present, both vehicles will be used at once. [edit] Sequels[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Download Swiv - Free Amiga Games Downloads. Amiga Intro - SWIV.
