An older game that was an attempt of something of an Orcs Must Die or other tower defense game that also allowed you to take the field. Granted given the age this is a little rough but with friends this certainly is still quite a fun time. As of right now there is a fan discord running weekly games, and even pumping out some mods for this title but official support to handle lingering issues with the game due to it's age would be ideal. The world was also fairly interesting even if much of the story needed further fleshing out when it came to the first game. Hard to track down who even owns the game anymore but I'd very much like to see a revival if not the series being picked up again wholesale given the themes, and the darker themes in this tower defense. Not often you get to be morally grey, or leaning more towards the black depending on just how desperate you get in game.
This game was so much fun! I remember playing the demo version on a (if I recall) Game Informer Pro Demo Disk that they would send out. I loved the art style, the lore, and the gameplay.
At the time, my buddy and I would take turns playing Spiral, the demo level, on his computer. We tried to keep upping the difficulty and see how hard we could make it (we failed miserably on Brute LOL). Years later, I remembered the game and saw it got a Steam release so I picked it up and remember playing some matches online. but then died before I could really enjoy the game online.
Every weekend, me and the guys that still play on Steam get together and play! Feel free to check the Steam guides to find our IG Warlord Discord server!
TutankhamTutankham is a combination of the maze, action and shoot 'em up genres. Taking on the role of an explorer grave robbing Tutankhamun's tomb, the player is chased by creatures such as asps, vultures, parrots, bats, dragons, and even curses, all that kill the player on contact. The explorer can fight back by firing lasers at the creatures, but he can only cover the left and right directions. The player is also endowed with a single screen-clearing "flash bomb" per level or life. Finally, each level has warp zones that teleport the player around the level, which enemies cannot use.
To progress, the player collects keys open locked doors throughout the levels, searching for the large exit door. Optional treasures can be picked-up for bonus points. Each level has a timer; when it reaches zero the explorer can no longer fire lasers, and once a level is cleared the remaining time is converted to bonus points.Action

ParsecParsec is a computer game for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. Perhaps the best-remembered of all TI-99/4A games, it is a side-scrolling shooter, programmed in 1982 by Jim Dramis (who also programmed the popular TI-99/4A games Car Wars and Munch Man) and Paul Urbanus.
The player in Parsec pilots a spaceship through sixteen differently-colored levels of play which scroll horizontally over the screen. The objective is to avoid being shot by an enemy ship, colliding with any flying object and/or the ground, and destroy all enemy ships without overheating one's laser cannon.
Three waves of fighters attack, alternating with three waves of cruisers. Enemy ships enter the screen one at a time. A ship flying off the left edge of the screen wraps around to the right side and attacks again. A new fighter can appear with others still on the screen, whereas a new cruiser will not come until the previous one is destroyed. The fighters pose only the threat of collision, while the cruisers fire on the player's ship. The fighter types are named Swoopers, LTFs (Light Triangular Fighters), and Saucers. The cruisers are called Urbites, Dramites, and Bynites. Each level ends with an asteroid belt, in which an array of asteroids advance on the ship and must be avoided or shot. At the end of each asteroid belt, any remaining asteroids are cleared away and the color of the ground is changed, then a new wave of Swoopers begins. Starting with level 4, the Swoopers are preceded by a random number of Killer Satellites, which come without the usual computer warning.
The Urbites and Dramites appear to be named after the developers of the game, while the Bynites were apparently named after Don Bynum (the manager of TI's Personal Computer Division) or possibly named after the fact that they have invisibility (by night). In fact, Paul Urbanus signed Internet posts as late as 2005 as "urbite".Action Science fiction

Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once.
Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons.
Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.Action Thriller Survival

The game will also feature two-player co-op action both locally and online.Action
