Galaga!
Released in 1989 by M Goss-Custard, Bellum Internecinum is a Galaga clone. Shoot first and ask questions later, as these incredibly trigger-happy ETs attack in formations. Don’t expect to take any prisoners. They also swoop down to clutter the screen for frantic action, gaining speed and ferocity as you progress.
The joystick controls are great, offering full directional movement. However, your ship has a limited amount of damage before parts start falling off, so be careful (which is actually a superb effect to see!)
Bellum Internecinum is a rock-solid shoot ‘em up, and I’ve loved every second playing it.
