Overview
Description

Silver Surfer puts you in the role of Marvel's iconic herald, soaring across vertical and horizontal scrolling levels while blasting enemies with a forward‑firing cannon. Collect power‑ups like Firepower, Speedup, Smart Bombs and Orbs to enhance your attack patterns and survive the onslaught of cosmic villains. Your mission is to retrieve the pieces of a mysterious Cosmic Device from foes such as Reptyl, Mephisto, and the Skrull Emperor, and stop the Magick Dimension invasion before it consumes the universe.

Space Fury is a 1981 vector-based arcade shooter where players pilot a ship against an alien commander who taunts them between rounds with synthesized speech. Developed by Gremlin Industries and released by Sega and Coleco, the game offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes on the Sega G80 system and ColecoVision cartridge. The game stands out with its upgrade system, letting players select a single power‑up at the start of each round, ensuring varied gameplay across rounds despite its endless scoring after round four.
