2 Games [ Skyroads / Overkill]

Post by Guest »

These games have been driving me crazy all day. I use to have them on my 95 PC but can't remember either of them or find them through google. The first is a spaceship type shooter with 2D backgrounds that you fly over (one of them had numerous waterfalls) that same level there were several greenish blimps you had to shoot and when you do you get circular tokens for different guns like ice, laser etc. After each level you get to upgrade the ship with diff guns armour etc. Also one level i recall had many tentacles coming off of purple walls as you fly past and the boss was almost like a purple octopus thing. The second game was a small game in space where you play as a little ship that can't fly but can only bounce/jump, basically you have to follow the path throughout the level, being careful not to fall off into space or hit an obstacle. The paths were multitoned red, bright red, blue green etc and you had to dodge cretain coloured squares or paths i.e bright red otherwise you explode. At the end of each level there are 1 or more green pipes that you have to go through to pass the level, if you choose the worng one you go directly out into space, if you choose the right one you pass the level. Sorry for the long explanation but they may be too difficult to find if I narrowed the descrip down, anyway thanks for any help in advance.
