Emulation
Guides on emulating older games

Space Tripper is a frantic side-scrolling 3D shoot-em-up. You have to battle through 14 levels divided over 4 thematic worlds, each with a different style and enemies. Each world ends with a huge boss battle. Carefully balance upgrading your two weapons, or at the end you'll be hard pressed to win (hint: focus on the blue one).

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

The disk image includes the following versions

the original 1.6 release. I don't remember with which Mac OS X versions it was compatible, but it was probably Mac OS X 10.1
the 1.83 release, which probably added Mac OS X 10.2 compatibility
the 1.84 release, which came in a version that was compatible with Mac OS X 10.2.8, and another one which was compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 and later (still works on Mac OS X 10.5)

The game consistently crashes after a while when run under Rosetta.

This is what arcade games is all about. Gen Z kids who grew up on games that simulate real (and fake) life don't know what they're missing.

This is a 3D "Defender" (Williams arcade) smokin' hot too.
compatibility : I just played v1.6 in OS9, didn't notice anything wrong. Requires a working GPU graphics card and driver.

Ya "Mutant Storm" is a sister game to Space Tripper.
Mutant Storm is a 3D homage to "Robotron" (also Williams arcade).
