Characters can move individually, allowing for diverse strategies based on the specific strengths and weaknesses of these characters.
K240
Gremlin Graphics1994
A space-based resource management game, loosely a sequel to the earlier Utopia. You start building your community on an asteroid, whose natural resources must be mined and put to use. You must use generators to power the mines and their auxilliary buildings such as storage facilities, which must be maintained. All of this costs money, but the mined resources can be sold or used. Problems you face include pollution, collisions with other asteroids, worker discontent and alien unrest. Battles against the aliens indigenous to the area must be fought, making building and maintaining a space fleet a priority.
Top Gear 2
Gremlin Graphics1993
This third-person racing game resembles Gremlin's earlier Lotus series, in terms of its general look and feel, right down to the text font used in the game. Your task is to race through 16 countries, each of which features four races, with many real-world circuits recreated in incongruous locations (such as the Monza layout in Ayers Rock, and the old Hockenheim in Vancouver). These four-race blocks each represent their own mini-championship, in which you race against 19 cars, needing to finish in the top 10 to continue, and with the top 6 scoring points 10-6-4-3-2-1, and the respective amount of money in thousands. This can be spent on various upgrades, ranging from engine to tires (wet and dry) and from shocks (front, side and rear) to gearboxes. The ideal approach is to buy the more expensive versions ASAP, as you get no saving when upgrading. If you win the four-race championship, you get the next password. You get a set amount of nitro boost to use during each race, although bonus nitros, money and instant speed-up token appear on many tracks. Hazards such as puddles, barriers and ramps are also frequent.
Harlequin
The Warp Factory1992
Harlequin is a strategy-based platform game for the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST released in 1992 by Gremlin Graphics.
Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge
Magnetic Fields1992
The third game in the series combined the gameplay aspects of its predecessors, allowing players to choose between racing opponents of Lotus Turbo Challenge or the arcade-like time trials of Lotus 2. The two-player option was retained and the music selection feature returns (Patrick Phelan's soundtrack to Lotus III spawned many modern remixes). Lotus III also added a third car - a concept Lotus M200 automobile - and allowed the player to choose which one to race with. The game recycled most of the graphics from Lotus 2, but added a number of new sceneries.
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Gremlin Graphics1992
Plan 9 from Outer Space is a point and click adventure game developed by Gremlin Ireland for the Amiga and Atari ST. It was released in 1992 and published by Gremlin Graphics and Konami.

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge
Magnetic Fields1990
The first in a series of 3 racing games endorsed by the legendary car company, which is now a part of Proton. The game features a total of 32 fictitious racetracks from around the world, split into 3 difficulty levels. There are 19 computer opponents (15 on the 8-bit versions) and you have to finish in the top 10 (top 8 on the 8-bits) to progress. The higher you finish in one race, the lower down the grid you start for the next race. The opposition drivers have pun names based on the F1 drivers of the day - examples include Ricardo Pastry and Crashhard Banger. You can choose between sound effects or one of a variety of music pieces. The game features a simultaneous 2-player mode, but the 1-player mode only uses half the screen, a simple animation filling the other half. In most races you will have to make a pitstop for fuel in order to reach the finish. The tracks include features such as oil slicks, roadworks, boulders and rivers - contact with these (or the other cars) will slow you, but there is no car damage model.

3D Galax
Gremlin Graphics1987
As the name implies, 3D Galax takes the Space Invaders/Galaxian concept into the third dimension. Seen from a first-person cockpit perspective and utilizing flat-shaded polygonal graphics, waves of aliens advance towards the player and must be destroyed with a laser cannon. Unlike in the originals, the aliens never shoot back: the only danger they pose is that of crashing into the player. If any aliens from a wave survive an attack run by not being destroyed before they pass the player, they will try again and again, until either the entire wave or the player is destroyed. The alien formations change every four waves, but not before a bonus stage involving navigating an asteroid field is passed.
Deflektor
Vortex Software1987
DEFLEKTOR es una experiencia en la lógica del láser. No hay ni héroes ni enemigos, simplemente un magnífico reto de tu habilidad. El objeto de DEFLEKTOR es de completar el circuito óptico. El láser produce un rayo de alta intensidad que debe llegar al receptor antes de que se haya reducido totalmente la energía. Esto se consigue reflejando, refractando y polarizando el rayo por la pantalla; los obstáculos en el camino del rayo pueden reflejar, absorber, o en el caso de la fibra óptica, transportar el rayo. Tienes el poder de controlar el rayo, pero la ruta hasta el receptor está cerrada hasta que hayas utilizado el láser para destruir todas las células. Debes tener cuidado de no sobrecargar el láser tocando minas o reflejando el rayo de nuevo sobre bu propio trazado. Pero no sólo eso: NO ESTAS SOLO... ten cuidado con los Gremlins! CONTROLANDO EL RAYO El láser puede ser dirigido ajustando el ángulo de ios espejos. Los espejos que giran solos pueden parar, o girar más rápido, según la dirección en la que intentes moverlos. Otros factores no pueden ser controlados direc-tamente, pero se pueden usar para afectar al rayo de alguna manera, bien reflej�ndolo, bien rediri-giéndolo. En el caso de la fibra óptica, un rayo que da contra un bloque reaparecerá en otro bloque en otara parte de la pantalla. Situación de sobrecarga Puedes sobrecargar tu láser de tres maneras: 1. Reflejo total. Si el rayo se refleja directamen-te sobre su propio recorrido y vuelve al láser lo sobrecalentará. 2. Demasiada distancia. Si el rayo debe reco-rer una distancia demasiado larga se debilitará y hará fallar el laser. 3. Alerta de minas. El rayo de láser ha colisio-nado con el campo de minas. Se crea un exceso de corriente que llevará rápidamente a un sobrecalentamiento. En todos estos casos debes redirigir de inme-diato el rayo y esperar que vuelva a cero el indicador de sobrecarga.
