2024 - January - Virus Killer - Ended

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the first game competition here on Amigans.net in 2024!

We had a lot of fun playing a wide variety of titles in 2023. Let us
aim to make this year just as good, or perhaps even better.

We'll kick off the new year with a shoot 'em-up called Virus
Killer! It was developed by Parallel Realities and ported to
AmigaOS 4 by Cybort and ToAks in 2005.




Virus Killer runs on all AmigaOS 4 setups, including emulation.

It is available to download for free at OS4Depot. You can use the
link below to go directly to the download page:

Most games have a story and Virus Killer is not an exception.
According to the readme file, the story is about viruses invading
your desktop through various security holes. With the help of
your trusty mouse, you must shoot the viruses before they destroy
your precious files. Some will steal files from your directories
and bring them back to their security holes, while others will
feast upon them! The aim is to survive as long as possible until
all your files are lost. To accomplish this, you must move the
crosshair around the screen, blasting away and picking up items
to help you (freeze time, more power, etc.) survive.

- We play on NORMAL difficulty
- Post a screenshot of your score below
- The contest ends at the end of the month (January 31st)

The aim of the competition is to get the highest score.

Good luck everyone!

Funny game, they wanted to steal my RTL8139 device, but I didn't let them

I will publish my score in the next few days. Great game choice...

Can the game also be used in full screen? I didn't find an option for this.

@Maijestro

Thanks for the heads-up concerning the link. Have fixed it now.

As for fullscreen, you can change to this under "Options". At the top there you can switch it on or off.

Glad you liked the game! Hope to see a score from you in the competition.

Its fantastic!!!
Why don't you use the WorkBench as the background?
Thank you
