Games
• Light Force (1986) was a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up with a large main ship. The player had to survive alien attacks in four different sectors of the planet Regulus. • Hydrofool (1987) was an isometric 3D game set in a giant aquarium, and a sequel to the similar (though drier) Sweevo's World. The player had to avoid fish and collect objects with the ultimate aim of pulling out enough plugs to drain the aquarium. • Shockway Rider (1987) was set in the future, where gangs of thugs roamed the moving walkways built around a huge city. The player had to collect weapons and bonus objects, and go "full circle" by surviving the perilous journey through the eight districts.
