Boss 101
Boss 101 is the story about a boy, his jetpack and MILLIONS of randomly generated bosses. It?s also about friendship, family and fun. Join Max and S.T.E.V.E. as they adventure across the galaxy battling the baddies and saving the day. Boss 101 is an arcade shooter and much more! We have procedurally generated levels, bosses and gameplay. On top of that we?re bringing you as much humor and entertainment as possible while you play. We made Boss 101 as a complete story. We hope you enjoy EVERY part of the game but here are recommendations depending on your play style: Style 1 I want it all Type: I want the whole Boss 101 experience: Awesome! Listen to BERL?s tutorials, explore the Command Center and don?t skip those cutscenes! Also, collect all the gophers, and be sure to make dolphin friends BEFORE level 30 if you want to see something special. Answer your phone, check out the WIKI, get a pet and visit ROB regularly in the Command Center! There are extra secrets for those that finish all quests as well as purchase all the hats ? good luck! Style 2 No Tutorials but Story is fine Type: Turn off the tutorials and head around the Command Center. Try not to skip the cutscenes and answer the Command Center phone! Otherwise ? explore the Command Center and have fun! Style 3 All Action/Skip Cutscenes Type: If you can?t stand cutscenes. If tutorials bore you then we recommend you turn tutorials off (the game will ask you) and explore the Command Center discovering things. You can skip cutscenes but we don?t recommend it. We do recommend checking the Endless Boss mode if you just want all out arcade action. Let?s be clear – you will be missing out on a lot of the story and world we made but hey, you want to play your way. Thank you again for checking us out and we would love to hear about your Boss 101 experience! The Boss 101 Team

ACA NEOGEO BASEBALL STARS PROFESSIONAL
BASEBALL STARS PROFESSIONAL is a sports game released in 1990 by SNK. One of the launch titles as the NEOGEO debuted, it came with both a VS Mode and Tournament Mode. The dynamic animation and powerful productions made for an exciting game. The “ACA NEOGEO” series has faithfully reproduced many classic NEOGEO masterpieces. Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores. Please enjoy the masterpiece that built a generation for video games. *This title is based off the MVS (NEOGEO for arcades) version. There may be differences between this version and the versions for the home NEOGEO console and other home consoles.

Lily’s Epic Quest for Lost Gems
Embark on an epic puzzle quest full of adventure and exploration. You play as Lily, a young archeologist who enters in her grandfather?s footsteps in a quest for the ultimate treasure, fame and glory. This puzzle adventure uses the match 3 puzzle mechanics, known from games like Candy Crush Saga or Bejeweled Blitz. By making combination of 3 or more blocks, Lily will be able to clear a path through different ground layers, in a search for rare Gems & Artifacts. Our hero needs to explore 10 magic worlds and dig towards the center of the earth, to find all 250 collectables. ?Lily?s Epic Quest for Lost Gems? is an innovative enhancement to the match 3 genre. Most match 3 games stick to a fixed field of elements and, each time a combination of 3 or more is created, they are removed and new elements are added to the field. Lily?s Epic Quest has a process based on the classic 3-match principles with a free roaming playfield, where the player can decide where to dig or how to solve the puzzles. The player is limited to the view of the camera and needs to move the Hero around to view more of the playfield. Any combination of 3 or more will remove the blocks clearing the field and giving to the Hero more space to run around. The game contains more than 250 Gems & Artifacts, some common and others very rare. It is up to the player to collect them all. Cracking all 150 puzzles will not be enough. New tools will open more possibilities and provide access to the new parts of the world.
