Overview
Description

Border Down puts you in the cockpit of the RAIN combat simulator, a futuristic fighter that you control remotely as you blaze through enemy territory. The side‑scroll action challenges you to survive waves of attacks while managing a power bar that fuels a devastating super weapon.\nThe game’s signature "border" system offers three parallel routes per stage; each death drops you to the next border with new visuals and enemy patterns, giving a fresh experience until the final border is lost. With fully polygonal graphics, six stages (the last with four variations), and arcade, remix, and practice modes, Border Down delivers deep replay value for solo pilots.

Suicide Strike is a retro side‑scroll aviation shooter that tasks players with infiltrating enemy headquarters for demolition. Navigate treacherous skies, manage fuel consumption based on speed and maneuvers, and survive waves of enemy aircraft, SAMs, and gunships. The game challenges you to balance aggressive tactics with careful fuel management, delivering intense dogfights and strategic demolition missions in a classic arcade style.
