Bloodstorm: Alien Purge – Full Demo Playthrough with RS3 Reaper Lightguns  

Entertainment - Started by M0d3rnR3tr0Gam3r, le 8 août
The aliens are here—and they’re bullet sponges.
 
Welcome to Bloodstorm: Alien Purge!
 
Built in Unreal Engine 5 by solo dev Firm-Recipe-703, Bloodstorm is a gritty, over-the-top on-rails shooter packed with mutants, gore, and nonstop action. If you grew up on House of the Dead, Time Crisis, or Virtua Cop—this is your kind of chaos.
 
I played through the demo using my RS3 Reaper lightguns from RetroShooter. Everything worked great but I couldn’t map the weapon-swap button to the gun, so I had to use the mouse scroll button to switch weapons. Despite some minor graphical pop-ins from asset streaming, I had a blast. The enemies are real damage sponges, but the gameplay delivers the B-movie energy promised. I never encountered any bugs. You can tell this is a passion project—a real labor of love for the genre. I can’t wait to buy the full game and run through it start to finish.

🔹🔷 What is Bloodstorm: Alien Purge? 🔷🔹
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Bloodstorm is a fast-paced, first-person rail shooter demo available now on Steam. It puts you on a high-speed ride through mutant-infested facilities where your only goal is to survive, rack up combos, and paint the walls red.
 
✅ Classic on-rails gameplay (no free movement).
✅ Built entirely in Unreal Engine 5.
✅ Waves of grotesque mutant enemies with extreme gore.
✅ No reload mechanic—just pull that trigger and go.
✅ Exploding barrels and dynamic subtitles for story snippets.
✅ Compatible with lightgun devices like Sinden or Gun4IR. Expected to work (not officially tested yet) but RS3 Reapers work great!

Zombie Face Ripper – Classic Flash Horror Shooter Returns!  

Test Emulator Game - Started by M0d3rnR3tr0Gam3r, le 4 août
Zombie Face Ripper is a short but intense horror-themed rail shooter from the Flash era, developed by Box10. You blast your way through three haunting stages—from a zombie-infested cathedral to cryptic graveyards and foul sewers. The first-person perspective and timed reloads give it a satisfying arcade feel.
 
Originally built for Adobe Flash, this game is no longer playable in most modern browsers. Thankfully, it’s been preserved across sites like FlashMuseum, KBHGames, and GamesFlow. Some even offer a hacked “God Mode” version for a more casual run.
 
For this playthrough, I used the original .SWF file and played it through Flash Player with a reWASD layout mapped to my RS3 Reaper lightgun.
 
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🔹🔷 My Control Setup 🔷🔹 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
• Trigger = Shoot 
• Magazine Button = Reload 
• Stock Button (Left) = Zoom 
 
A screenshot of my reWASD control layout is included below, along with a download link for the game so you can try it yourself.

Area 51 - Site 4 longplay  

Test Emulator Game - Started by M0d3rnR3tr0Gam3r, le 3 août
Area 51: Site 4 is the explosive 1998 sequel to the original Area 51, developed by Mesa Logic and Atari Games. This full motion video (FMV) rail shooter blends digitized enemies and live-action backgrounds for that unmistakable 90s arcade vibe.

In this video, I take you through the entire game, including both endings and every secret room, running it on MAME with custom tweaks to improve performance. While some minor imperfections remain, the game is now fully playable with proper CPU timing and a modified MAME build.

Played with my RS3 Reaper Lightguns from RetroShooter, this is as close as you’ll get to the real arcade experience from home.
🎥 NOW PLAYING: AREA 51 – SITE 4 (REMASTERED WIDESCREEN TRAILER)  

Trailer - Started by M0d3rnR3tr0Gam3r, le 1 août
I’ve brought the aliens back.
 
This is a faithful recreation of the original promotional VHS trailer for Area 51: Site 4—restored using footage captured during my recent full playthrough. The quality and intensity of this remaster were made possible thanks to the raw game footage, the hard work of the Mame emulator developers, and a whole lot of editing passion.
 
Atari’s forgotten follow-up to Area 51 gets the spotlight it deserves. The military’s worst nightmare continues—faster, stronger, and deadlier than ever. In Site 4, you’re dropped into training missions and full-on alien Armageddon. Repel zombie invaders, clear UFO attacks, and battle your way through the underground labs all the way to the Alien Queen herself.
 
💥 Wall-to-wall cinematic lightgun chaos.
🧟‍♂️ Callbacks to Missile Command.
🎯 Cool powerups and secret rooms.
📼 VHS-style narration and pacing, recreated from the original promo.
 
 Whether you remember this game or you’re just discovering it now, this trailer remaster is for the fans of arcade shooters, VHS nostalgia, and that raw Atari intensity.
 
 Boot camp begins now.
Area 51 was only the beginning...

Neon Inferno - Release Date Announcement Trailer - like Contra and Wild Guns  

Trailer - Started by Fox, le 30 juillet
Taking inspiration from classic titles like Contra and Wild Guns, NEON INFERNO splits the action into the foreground and background. It features a variety of enemies and bosses in levels set in a dystopian New York City in 2055. 
Developed by Zenovia Interactive (creators of Steel Assault) and published by Retroware (from the recent Iron Meat,) NEON INFERNO lets players take on the role of either Angelo or Mariana, as they fight for a fledgling crime family striving for power against a corrupt NYPD and other crime syndicates in the war-torn metropolis.
Features: With “Bullet Time”, players can deflect certain projectiles back at enemies they choose, regardless of whether they’re in the foreground or background! With multiple upgrades available to equip between missions, multiple difficulties, including an Arcade Mode, and two-player co-op available, players will be able to tackle their missions however they choose.
