A platform shooter from Japan, Thexder offers many levels and diverse enemies that gradually increase in difficulty. You pilot a Battletech-style robot capable of switching from a ‘mech into a jet at any time. Your weapon auto-aims, but uses up a fixed amount of rechargable energy; if you run out of this energy, you’ll have to wait a few seconds before you can fire again. Your ‘mech also contains a shield that can be activated to protect you from harm, but this lasts for a few seconds and uses up some of your life energy.

SWOS is a top down football/management game, with either quick game or 20-year career player-manager options. The games are set to last 3 minutes, but the 20-year career can suck in your entire life for a few months.

In the full career mode you can jump from club-to-club buying any of the game’s 29000+ players, as well as play around with team tactics.
