Exterminator (c) 1989 Gottlieb / Premier Technology.

A wholly abstract approach to the shoot-em-up genre in which one or two players take control of a disembodied, digitized human hand and must kill the swarms of insects that have infested a street of houses.

Spinal Breakers (c) 1990 V-System.

Rare "Cabal" type shoot'em up.

Alligator Hunt (c) 1994 Gaelco.

Strange reptilian-looking aliens are invading earth and is up to the most brave and skilled soldiers (apparently a duo of skateboarding youths!) to stop the invasion and destroy the enemy base. Features nice graphics and great shoot'em up gameplay which is quite similar to "Cabal" & "Blood Bros.".

Features nice graphics & an interesting blend of shooter & beat-em up gameplay elements!
