NAME

       excellent-bifurcation - an abstract two-sided vertical shooter

SYNOPSIS

       excellent-bifurcation

DESCRIPTION

       The  aliens  have  attacked,  and  their  ability to exist in either or both of their world and ours has given them an almost unsurpassable
       advantage.

       Take command of a special fighter craft capable of existing in both realities at once and drive them back!

       The form your fighter takes on the left has double fast-firing cannons and can charge to release up to  eight  seekers.	It  is	ideal  for
       destroying  small and weak but numerous enemies. The right-hand form has a single powerful cannon which fires slowly but does far more dam-
       age, and is more suited to taking out larger enemies.  It can charge up to release a wave which passes through things, damaging them as	it
       goes (unlike the beam weapons, which only hit anything once no matter how thick it is). You can switch them between the worlds depending on
       what kind of firepower you need where.

KEYS

       Left, Right, Up, Down
	      move the fighter across the screen

       A      turns on or off the autofire mode

       Esc    return to the main menu

NAME

       Rafkill - a vertical shoot'em-up

SYNOPSIS

       rafkill [ -l ] [ -w ] [ -g<speed> ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       Rafkill is a clone of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, a classic shoot'em-up game.

       You  have  a  bird's eye view of the playing field, which is an alien world, and your job is to destroy the enemies that are flying towards
       you shooting bullets. The score lets you buy life, shield, better weapons or even new spaceships.

       Killing enemies gives you money, or score. If you kill a group of enemies, you might get a handy coin which gives you more score. There are
       other powerups, so look for them too.

       The  score  lets  you buy more weapons and hull parts. There are 5 weapon groups and a few weapons in each group, but you can only have one
       weapon per group except for the accessory weapons in which you can have up to 3 weapons. Once you buy 3, you cannot buy any more. There are
       3  hulls, which have each higher life and shield than the previous one and gives you access to a new set of weapons. Buying a new hull does
       not throw away your weapons, but it does throw away your accessory weapons.

OPTIONS

       -l     run the game without displaying the background

       -w     run the game in windowed mode instead of full screen

       -g<speed>
	      run the game at a different speed (default is 40)

       -h, -help, --help
	      display help message and exit

KEYS

       Left, Right, Up, Down
	      move the ship across the screen

       Space or Enter
	      fire the main weapon

       Alt    switch between alternate weapons

       Esc    return to the game menu
