GP Gravity Force 2.0 (Arcade) by David Douglas I believe this game is an old Amiga classic, and if you've not played this, you will have played Thrust at some point and be familiar with the concept of gravity and inertia. You control your little triangular ship by using a rear thruster and rotating left and right, this may take a few goes to get the hang of but it's really quite intuitive. Also I found this game far more forgiving that others of it's type, where you can actually slam down on the landing strip quite hard and just bounce, and the movement and acceleration is very manageable meaning you can have quite a good time just holding down the thruster and whizzing round the caverns like a maniac! The aim is to pick up cargo blocks that have been left in parts of the caves and take them back to your home base, en route you can be sure to encounter resistance in the form of gun turrets, flying saucers and other meanies that want you dead, and all you have to defend yourself is an awkward pixel shooter at the tip of your vessel. There are 8 levels included which the later few will pose a reasonable challenge although it's not the hardest game, and you can skip to any level using the L button. I would have prefered a method of "unlocking" levels once you complete them but as you can see from the included readme, the author intended to add more functionality and levels but I guess he never got round to it. This was one of the first games I played when I got my GP32 and it still remains on my homebrew SMC to be picked up for the odd blast every now and again. Recommended, although it could do with some more levels. Download GP Gravity Force 2.0 from GP32x.de
