Overview
Description

The Adventures of Lomax is a fast‑paced side‑scrolling platformer where Lomax must battle Evil Ed's minions across bizarre, colorful lands. Players navigate tricky jumps, defeat enemies, and collect power‑ups to break the sinister hex and save his pals. Developed and published by Psygnosis in 1996, the game offers single‑player adventure with classic platforming challenges and a whimsical fantasy setting. Its retro pixel art and catchy soundtrack make it a nostalgic yet exciting experience for gamers of all ages.

ThunderCats is a side‑scrolling platform game that puts players in control of Lion‑O as he battles through 14 levels to recover the missing Eye of Thundera. Players can switch between the Sword of Omens and a short‑range energy gun, and pilot a flying vehicle in select stages. The game features a time‑limit mechanic that triggers Mumm‑Ra and additional enemies when it expires, adding pressure to each level. The first four levels are set in the Garden of the Elementals, allowing players to choose the order of fire, water, air, and earth themed stages.
