GOG.com celebrates
the fifth anniversary of their launch with the release of
Stargunner for free:
In a distant galaxy of Andromeda an epic struggle between two planets is
drawing to a close. The greedy, powerful Zilions are gathering an almighty fleet
to destroy, once and for all, a neighboring civilization of Ytimians. When their
army takes flight, there is nothing that can stop them from annihilating Ytima.
Unless you--one of the elite squad of Stargunners--can cripple their immense
forces while they are still stationed at strongholds scattered on the surface of
Zile. The challenge, even for a special forces pilot like you, is daunting. So
get your laser cannons charged and lead your swift spacecraft to victory!
Stargunner is an exceptionally
well-crafted Sci-Fi shooter with fast-paced action and explosive boss fights.
You will have to battle over 75 unique, fully-rendered and animated enemy ships
in diverse environments: in space, on the planet's Zile mountainous surface,
even underwater, with plenty of weapons, shields, and power-ups available to
boost your craft. With fitting soundtrack and--for the time of its original
release--ground-breaking pre-rendered 3D graphics, which made the game one of
the most beautiful and detailed shooters of the 90s,
Stargunner is a sure-fire pick
for classic shoot 'em up fans!
