Thrust

Description

Thrust took a unique game style by bringing realistic physics and inertia-based movement into arcade games, directly influencing titles like Oids, not to mention the same author's Exile from Audiogenic. The action is viewed from the side, with the graphics drawn in vectors, in keeping with the mathematical nature of everything that unfolds.

As a Resistance fighter, you must fly into enemy lines in order to steal Klystron Pods to power your more advanced starships, using your tractor beam to take them. A network of mounted guns are aiming to shoot you down – these can be disabled by shooting their power source, but eventually this will explode, forcing you to flee. Some of the later levels feature reverse gravity, which is where things really get difficult.
