The end of an era: The last game released by Apogee was a good way to go out. This is a side-scrolling shmup that is still fast and fun. It's definitely influenced by the Gradius series, even including a vocal prompt with each new power up. Enemies have varied attack patterns, and will even speed up and slow down as they approach your ship. And speaking of your ship, power ups are plentiful, and there is a fair amount of upgrades available for purchase within the game. The only possible negative might be for its aesthetics: Stargunner features a bright, primary color palette and oversized enemies, while I prefer smaller targets and a darker, grittier feel. The bottom line is this: Just because it's free, doesn't mean it's not worth playing. I'd pay for this. If you're a shmup fan, get it and enjoy! Recommended.
Stargunner is an excellent 1996 shooter developed by Apogee that is free on the store. Running in a DOSBox it recognized my xinput controller right out of the box. Given the number of available orbitals and other weapon / engine selections the ship is very customizable as well. Took 27 years to find, never too late. A review on the store page mentions to modify the game's DOS config file for ultra wide-screen.
EDIT: On a widescreen monitor, you may need to change DOSbox settings (edit STARGUN.CONF in Notepad to change "aspect=false" to "aspect=true" if it isn't already) to fix the aspect ratio. You may also need to disable Steam Overlay then, since the pop-up will get stuck in the margin. This is a pretty solid side-scrolling shooter from the nineties. Sound and graphics are similar to what you'd expect from a classic Amiga action game, with bouncy MOD format music, pre-rendered 3d art and animation, and parallax scrolling. The Steam version runs in DOSbox, since this is an old MS-DOS game. It was very stable on my Windows XP system. I used mouse control for this, and it felt pretty good. Mouse movement response can be adjusted from slow to instant, with or without a visible mouse pointer. Left button fires your main gun and special weapons, right button fires nukes. Your ship starts with
You can safely add the game to favorite shooters list. Plays good. Power up system where you buy what you need using credits. Experiment with different setups. Music is decent. A bit pixelated but playable. Make sure to set up joystick in the settings to get 8-directional controls instead of 4-directional when using controller. Difficulty can be set and might get really tough but you can start on easy.
I've loved this game since the first time I played it. 22 years later, I'm still playing it.
I can't believe how long it took me to find this game, being born in 1990 was great I grew up playing games like this a Duke Nukem -- for the longest time I couldn't remember the name Stargunner was one of my favorite games growing and Im glad I finally found it and the best part is it was free flying through space in a side-scrolling shooter has never been so much fun again with the ability to upgrade your ship with protection and different types of plasma guns and turrets really does make the experience quite joyful, gathering crystals from killing enemies to earn credits in order to attain these upgrades. Even though the game can be challenging at times these are the reasons you continue to come back for more. Stargunner was great in the 90's and continues to be so today if you haven't played yet your childhood was dull make up for it now, it wont cost you a dime!
