Iridis Alpha is a fast paced shhot em' up created by Jeff Minter. It was realesed to the awesome commodore 64 in 1988 if i remember correctly. In the game, you control this spaceship named Gibly. Gibly's mission is to kill all the aliens in the Iridis Alpha system. As Gibly shoots enemies, he gathers energy. If the energy level goes too high, Gibly will die of exsess energy. You can also walk in the planet surface and when ou do, the extra energy will be stored to the planet core. The game is freeware as are all old games by Jeff.
This game was designed to get players to the "Zone" where player trances out and shoots everything without thinking. This game is ideal for that purpose. So, if you want a game from the time that they had fad playability, download this one! Youll be glad you did!
