PowerShooter
About this game
"PowerShooter" is a DOS-based vertical scrolling shooter inspired by classic games like Capcom’s 1942 and 1943. Developed as a straightforward and challenging shoot-em-up, it offers fast-paced action, decent graphics, and a no-frills gameplay experience. While the lack of sound and one-hit deaths may be a drawback for some, "PowerShooter" remains a solid choice for fans of the genre.
