Ablation is basically a four color vertical shooter with an interesting concept. Touching a white bomb neutralizes all projectiles, while activating a black one destroys every object in range. Collect power-ups for a firepower upgrade. Hold the control, Z or space key to shoot, and use the function keys numbered 5 and 6 to switch window sizes. Press the P key to pause the game.
Black pixels do no damage, though contact with a white pixel will cause your ship to lose one power-up degree. Destroy an enemy’s weak point for a special core bonus.
Shades of Clean Asia, but very different at the same time and well worth downloading.

There’s a special collectible to be found in this game and at least one boss encounter to reward the brave, among other surprises.

Axion is a horizontal scrolling shmup by BenH that puts most of the releases posted in the GMC forums to shame. Smooth controls, a super blast which can be activated using the space key, tons of power-ups to collect and even a minor boss encounter thrown in as icing on the cake.
The only drawback is that the one level included is rather short in length. It will definitely leave most players wishing for more.

Losted is a decent four color Robotron: 2084 variation by DevlSoft, featuring ten levels worth of action with a boss waiting at the end. A nice diversion for at least a couple of minutes.

Doctor Who and The Daleks is a remake of and loving tribute to the classic console game Daleks. The game begins with the Doctor materialised on the surface of Skaro, homeworld of the terrifying Daleks. You control the Doctor, moving him with the number pad or the keyboard. Pressing S or five on the numpad is considered a pass move, where the Doctor stands still and the Daleks move.
Every time the Doctor moves, the Daleks move closer as well. However, the Dalek troops aren’t quite as smart as the Doctor. In their bloodlust they will collide with each other, leaving behind a pile of radioactive debris which other Daleks may collide with as well. So you’ll want to make your moves carefully and try to lure the Daleks into each other.
You are aided in your struggle by the Tardis, the Doctor’s travelling machine through time and space. You can use the Tardis to instantly transport yourself to another place on the battlefield. Unfortunately, the Tardis is still an unpredictable beast, so you can’t control where you’ll appear. A teleportation counts as a regular move, so if you land next to a Dalek, bad luck there.
Use the function keys to change the size of the game.

Deathchase: UFO is a lo-fi remake of classic ZX Spectrum game 3D Deathchase by Mervyn Estcourt. It was made for the Four Colour Mini Competition held by Retro Remakes, which required games to use 160×100 pixels display with only 4 shades of gray similar to TI calculators.
Chase down and destroy evil alien saucers throughout the 8 sectors. Avoid crashing into trees. Aliens can be shot only in close proximity. When they are in range an indicator in bottom right of the screen will start to flash.
There are 4 saucers in each sector although you can expect more on the later stages. Special bonus is awarded for clearing all of the 8 sectors.
