Yay! I found this shoot-em-up on the Apple site here (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demonstar.html). Very cool retro shooter if you like that sort of thing...According to the readme it runs on 8.6 with a 166Mhz CPU!! Dunno bout that - lol

I just spent the past 2 hours playing it - lol I think I'm hooked.

Well, okay, I am downloading it now! But I really expect it not to top the games like Battle Squadron or Xenon II on my Amiga :D
Those are really AWESOME
And, if you´re into newer shooters, check out R-Type Delta for PSOne or Silpheed for PS2. Great games!

Yup, the Amiga had some of the best side and forwarad scrolling games ever.

63,600 points is my best score so far. It's kind of crowded compared to some scrollers.
