While capturing the twitch gameplay of their predecessors, they're brought to you in glorious HD using vector graphics to provide clean, never pixelated graphics and advanced Newtonian physics. Terra Lander, Terra Lander II - Rockslide Rescue, and Terra Bomber each offer the familiar boops and beeps that will inspire fond memories in veteran players while newcomers will appreciate the improved graphics, visual effects, and controls they come to expect from current-gen games.

    Terra Lander is a two-dimensional sideways scroller inspired by the classic arcade shooters of the 1980s. Navigate your ship to the landing pad through twenty increasingly difficult levels within the time limit and without running out of fuel. Avoid the moving doors and increasingly fiendish enemies, and find the switches for the doors that block your way.

    Movement and firing uses up fuel throughout the level, and running out means you lose controls and cannot fire. Replenish your tank by shooting the fuel dumps, and if all fuel dumps are destroyed on any given level the player's fuel tank capacity is doubled for the next level (except in practice mode.).

    Don't touch anything--that would be fatal!

    Terra Lander II - Rockslide Rescue is the sequel to Terra Lander in which players must rescue humanoids from various landing pads across the planet. Complete ten levels of increasing difficulty within the time limit by rescuing all of the humanoids and flying above the planet to escape. Movement and firing projectiles use up fuel, so keeping an eye on your fuel levels is highly encouraged. Replenishing fuel can be done by shooting fuel dumps, but if pilots find themselves with an empty gas tank, they’ll lose control of their craft and be unable to fire missiles.

    In Terra Bomber, you will pilot your craft across ten increasingly difficult terrains while avoiding the various gun positions, rockets and baddies with only one objective: to destroy the base and the end of the level! Use your guns and bombs which can be bolstered by collecting power ups, and maintain a sharp eye on your fuel levels, keeping them topped up by destroying the fuel dumps.    … Expand

    Playing Terra Trilogy took me back to a time when simply improving your skills and achieving higher and higher scores made for a highly entertaining gaming experience. If you also love this old-school approach to gaming, you definitely need this in your collection.

    Terra Trilogy is a compilation of three shoot 'em ups that take a lot of inspiration from some early arcade titles and they all have potential but are let down by some horrible difficulty spikes and cheap level design.

    I love retro type games that take me back to the days of going to the arcades and this is just like that, an old-school lunar lander type ofI love retro type games that take me back to the days of going to the arcades and this is just like that, an old-school lunar lander type of games on 2 of the 3 and a side-scrawling shooter in the ‘Bomber’ game.

    While the graphic may look basic, if you look at the amount of pixels used on the background, plus the particles on the thrust, on top of the particles from explosions and weapons, clearly a lot of effort was put in to the vector-based graphics.

    The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 is because I’m saving that for the Switch version when that’s released...portable Retro gaming, definitely right up my alley!    … Expand
