An unreleased gem!
Sideways was developed by Jamie Woodhouse but unfinished and (obviously) unreleased. Actually, it's very close to being a finished product and something of a cross between Uridium and Return To Genesis; a fast-paced shooter with graphics ripping along at 50fps! I'm saddened this was never released as it proves that the Atari ST can perform brilliantly in the hands of a talented programmer. Yep, no lame port!
What a shock it was booting this up for the first time. It's impossible not to be impressed by this ridiculously exciting shooter. The controls feel natural and responsive with precise turning and acceleration - better than Uridium!! Each level is stuffed with baddies and power-ups for increased firepower, shields, weapons, etc. However, not everything has been implemented as this is an unfinished game.
Any shoot 'em up needs great mechanics to deliver a thrilling experience and Sideways has that by the bucket load. I feel Sideways is better than either of the above-mentioned games, albeit unfinished. If you favour a shooter to be nothing less than FAST and FURIOUS, this game was made for you!!

This is a superb shoot 'em up. Unfinished or not, it's absolutely superb! Get it downloaded right now.
