Tailgunner (Arcade/Shooter) by Graham I can't believe I never saw this game before! there's barely a mention of it on the gp32x boards and it seems to have just been sneaked into PDROMS by a semi-anonymous guy called Graham! Here we have a shootemup along the lines of the old Starwars arcade game, vector wireframe 3D graphics represent the rear of your spacecraft and your job is to fend of the pursuers. To aid you in your escape you have a single laser weapon and 80 shield units which can be used as a last resort if you miss your target. You may only miss 10 crafts before your ship will break up and it's game over for you! The controls are slightly awkward having to use the d-pad to control a cursor is always a little annoying, but once you get the hang it is really quite addictive and the enemy attack patterns seem almost limitless. Graphics: Basic Wireframe graphics, nothing spectacular but very smooth. Sound: No Sound. Gameplay: Good solid first person shooter action here, there's not much to it, but what there is is pretty nice. Progress: Unfortunately it seems that this is only a small tech demo and as such it is not very polished. Game Idea: Nice take on the old vector graphic shooter theme. Replay Value: Nice for a good few goes, and maybe more, if you like to compete against your own high score. Overall: A nice little game that seems to have been greatly overlooked, I recommend you download it and give it a little of your time. Note by editor Don: Screenshot is from another platform, because I couldn't find or make a screenshot, but it looks pretty much like the GP32 version.
