Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000
''Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000'', known in Europe as ''Motherbase'' and in Japan as ''Parasquad'', is a 1995 isometric-scrolling shooter video game developed by CSK Research Institute and published by Sega for the 32X. The North American version was rebranded as part of the ''Zaxxon'' series due to its similar gameplay. Gameplay involves piloting a ship to destroy giant robots and enemy ships, while being able to capture enemy ships and use them as power-ups. Reception to ''Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000'' was negative. While reception of the gameplay was mixed, the visuals were panned as being rough-edged, ugly, and susceptible to slowdown. Most North American critics also said the game is not similar enough to ''Zaxxon'' to justify the use of the series name. Gameplay Played from an isometric point of view, similar to the original ''Zaxxon'', the player flies a spaceship through various enemy bases with the goal of destroying enemy robots and craft. Additionally, the player's ship can ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Xevious
is a vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Namco for arcades in 1982. It was released in Japan and Europe by Namco and in North America by Atari, Inc. Controlling the Solvalou starship, the player attacks Xevious forces before they destroy all of mankind. The Solvalou has two weapons at its disposal: a ''zapper'' to destroy flying craft, and a ''blaster'' to bomb ground installations and enemies. It runs on the Namco Galaga arcade system. The game was designed by Masanobu Endō and a small team. Created to rival the success of ''Scramble'', it was originally themed around the Vietnam War and titled ''Cheyenne''. Endō wanted the game to have a detailed, integral storyline and a comprehensive world, and to be welcoming for newer players. Several enemies and characters were made to pay homage to other popular science fiction works, including ''Star Wars'', ''UFO'', ''Alien'', and ''Battlestar Galactica''. ''Xevious'' was praised for its detailed graphi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of 32X Games
The 32X is an add-on for the Sega Genesis video game console. Codenamed "Project Mars", the 32X was designed to expand the power of the Genesis and serve as a holdover until the release of the Sega Saturn. Independent of the Genesis, the 32X used its own ROM cartridges and had its own library of games. A total of 40 titles were produced worldwide, including six that required both the 32X and Sega CD add-ons, and ten that were released only in North America. Unveiled at June 1994's Consumer Electronics Show, Sega presented the 32X as the "poor man's entry into 'next generation' games." The product was originally conceived as an entirely new console by Sega of Japan and positioned as an inexpensive alternative for gamers into the 32-bit era, but at the suggestion of Sega of America research and development head Joe Miller, the console was converted into an add-on to the existing Genesis and made more powerful, with two 32-bit central processing unit chips and a 3D gr ...

Star Wars Arcade
''Star Wars'' is a 1993 arcade game developed by Sega and based on the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy. Combining elements of ''A New Hope'' and ''Return of the Jedi'', the game has players pilot a Rebel starship and battle against the forces of the Empire. Sega developed ''Star Wars'' for their Model 1 system, the same arcade hardware that powered ''Virtua Fighter'' and ''Virtua Racing''. Like those two titles, the graphics in ''Star Wars'' are rendered entirely using polygons. The game was given a home port under the name ''Star Wars Arcade'', as an exclusive for the Sega 32X's launch in 1994. Sega followed up the release of ''Star Wars Arcade'' with '' Star Wars Trilogy Arcade'' and '' Star Wars: Racer Arcade'', as well as a ''Star Wars'' pinball game.

Axel Springer
Axel Cäsar Springer (2 May 1912 – 22 September 1985) was a German publisher and founder of what is now Axel Springer SE, the largest media publishing firm in Europe. By the early 1960s his print titles dominated the West German daily press market. His ''Bild Zeitung'' became the nation's tabloid. In the late 1960s Springer entered into confrontation with the emergent New Left. Hostile coverage of student protests and a continuing rightward drift in editorial comment were met with boycotts and printing-press blockades and, in 1972, the bombing of the company offices by the Red Army Faction (the "Baader Meinhof Gang"). In the late 1970s exposés of journalistic malpractice by the investigative reporter Günter Wallraff led to Press Council reprimands. Sometimes referred to as Germany's Rupert Murdoch, Springer, with counter suits and minor divestments, was able to ride out public criticism of his editorial ethics and market dominance. Springer engaged in private diplomacy in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
