A good rendition of the show's gameplay, marred by occasionally terrible graphics.

Save the "Net" with this entertaining, fast-action vertical shooter. Similar game play as Arashi, (once known as STORM, a Mac version of Tempest).

For the tank-game of the same name, see MacAttack (tank).

Valkyrie

In Valkyrie, you pilot an attack chopper in full 3D. Enemies include other choppers, tanks, AAA, and SAMs. Valkyrie is easy to learn and hard to get tired of. The missions aren't terribly complex, but they're fun to play over and over. The graphics are good for 1993. This game will run slow on a 68030 and hum along just fine on a 68040.
