Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project

Shooting and gunplay

A 2.5D action shooter where Duke blasts and wisecracks his way through a mutant-infested New York. Platforming sections and heavy gunplay come with crude, over-the-top 90s-style humor.

VectorMan 2

Fast pace

A fast run-and-gun platformer where the orb-bodied VectorMan blasts and transforms his way through an abandoned research facility. Its pre-rendered 3D orb-model look was distinctive for the era.

Mighty No. 9

Sci-fi setting

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Duke Nukem II

Sci-fi setting

A classic DOS platform shooter where Duke blasts his way through aliens and robots as a cocky action hero. Fast levels, hidden secrets and plenty of over-the-top attitude define the game.

C: The Contra Adventure

Fast pace

You blast through ten levels of alien-infested jungle as Ray, mixing run-and-gun shooting with jumping sections and a large arsenal of weapons. It is a relentless, old-school action shooter from the late PlayStation era.

Duke Nukem

Fast pace

The first Duke Nukem is a classic side-scrolling platformer with shooting, where Duke takes on Dr. Proton's robot army. A short retro arcade outing that introduces the wisecracking action hero.

Super Contra

Challenging difficulty

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.

Alien Carnage

Shooting and gunplay

A classic DOS side-scrolling platform shooter where a jetpack-equipped hero blasts hordes of aliens and zombies through run-and-gun levels while rescuing hostages. The tone is campy and tongue-in-cheek.

Mayhem Triple

Fast pace

A violent action platformer built around stylish gunplay, where evolution has gone horribly wrong and the world needs saving. The experience is driven by a string of over-the-top setpieces.
