I’ve been playing more classic games from Apogee Software. After Secret Agent, I sampled Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure, Major Stryker, and Monster Bash. Major Stryker is a 2D vertical scrolling shooter similar to games such as Xevious or Active Lancer. The other two are 2D side scrolling platform games. None of them really grabbed me for any length of time. The Apogee game I’ve played most recently, however, has held my interest much longer. That game is Bio Menace. It is another 2D platform game based on the Commander Keen engine. Overall, I’ve found it the most enjoyable of this recent lot. I am pretty close to completing episode 1. However, I first need to get by the Elevator level, which is a little tricky.
