Beamrider vs Mystic Riders

You stand before a web of glowing blue beams that envelop Earth‑Space, each one a conduit for strange weapons and terrifying creations. As the beams pulse, you can choose to merely watch or mount them and take the fight to the enemy. Animated 3D‑perspective graphics pull you into the action while pulsating sound effects intensify the chaos. With both single‑player and multiplayer modes, Beamrider delivers fast‑paced arcade combat in a classic 1983 sci‑fi setting.

Mystic Riders is a classic 2D side‑scrolling shoot ’em up where you control a child witch on a broomstick, soaring through six fantasy‑themed levels. The game delivers fast‑paced action with charge shots, power‑ups, and a variety of enemies like ghosts, dragons, and gargoyles. A two‑player co‑operative mode lets friends share the screen, making the arcade experience even more fun for fans of retro shooters and fantasy settings.
