FixEight

FixEight is a vertical scrolling science fiction themed shoot 'em up game where you take control of one of eight fighters. They are Howard Young, Lucy Pamela, GX-026, Cull Horn, Vistario, H. Ziguragi, Agatha Bordeaux and R. Langelo. Ranging from robots and mercenaries to aliens, each having their own weapons patrons. The game is a sequel to Out Zone.

As you walk through the stages you fight a variety of enemies on foot, vehicles, strange creatures, static guns and bosses. While playing destroyed enemies drop power-ups. These include: a weapons power-up, plus one (limited) bomb and secrets items (?) like a speed power-up and special weapons. Holding the fire button down for a while and then releasing it will create a more powerful shot. There are also rainbow platforms that lets you switch between a more powerful front direction shooting weapon and the base all direction gun. Sometimes a vehicle must be mounted witch only shoots in the front direction. You can play solo or with a friend.
