Isolated Warrior

1991 NES (Nintendo)

Action Sci-fi Shoot em up Isometric perspective

The NES was originally the Famicom, or Family Computer, and it was released in Japan in 1983. There, it sold over 2.5 million units during its first year on the market. Developer Nintendo, a former collectible card company, then decided to expand its interests globally. Executives knew Western markets would be difficult to utilize. The video games industry was in shambles so stores would be hesitant to stock a new console that likely no one would buy. Nintendo planned properly. Firstly, Nintendo agreed to buy back unsold consoles so that stores would not be liable. Secondly, they developed a peripheral known as R.O.B. the Robot that could be used with two of its games (Stack Up and Gyromite both are awful but they served their purpose). With R.O.B, the NES was disguised as an electronic toy, not a video game system. Finally, they redesigned the Famicom and renamed it the Nintendo Entertainment System. The console was released in the United States on October 18, 1985. It was an instant success in no small way due to one of its launch titles: Super Mario Bros.

Abandonware

Definitions of "abandoned" vary; generally, it refers to software no longer available for legal purchase, or of a certain age. Software companies may change their names, go bankrupt, enter into mergers, or cease to exist for a variety of reasons. When this happens, product rights are usually transferred to another company that may not sell or support the software acquired. Source: Wikipedia

After a devastating alien attack on Earth, Max Maverick is the last survivor of the planet's special forces. Instead of succumbing for new alien overlords, he takes it upon himself to eradicate the threat single-handedly! The game features an isometric perspective, where you move from bottom left and to the top right. All levels are scrolled constantly (and automatically), and it's up to the player to shoot everything in sight and avoid bullets and stay within the terrain. Thankfully there are upgradable weapons and bombs to help Max save the day - and the planet.
