Frenetic

Frenetic is a video game in the action genre developed by Core Design Ltd. and published by Core Design Ltd. originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on Amiga, Atari ST.

Earth has been under siege for centuries by evil aliens from the planet MOZONE. The planet cannot be saved - it is time to find a new home for mankind. A heavily armed ship is sent to explore such a place - naturally, many MOZONE ships get in the way.

Frenetic is a traditional vertical scrolling shoot'em'up. The action takes place over eight levels, set both in space and on earth (with environments such as a jungle planet and a water world). Although most of the levels are technologically themed, some feature enemies and organic backgrounds, reminiscent of games like R-Type or Xenon 2. In keeping with tradition, each level has a huge final boss.

The player's ship can pick up a variety of power-ups: lasers and missiles, which fire to the front, back or sides. Speed and shield power-ups are also available. Power-ups are revealed by destroying certain enemies or special bonus capsules, and several are given to the player for free at the start of a level. Weapons can be upgraded by collecting the same power-up multiple times.

The game features a two-player mode, with two ships battling aliens at the same time.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
