Dodging Lasers At Warp Speed: Online Space Shooter Arcades

By Amy X. Pruitt


The Internet offers many conveniences to modern society, especially recreational pastimes such as online space shooter games, created with fun in mind. These games are free for the public to operate, unless controlled by a private server, allowing individuals to take their frustrations out by killing extra-terrestrials. With an assortment of fields to choose from, avid gamers have a multitude of missions at their fingertips.

Games in general encompass a large variety of styles; flash games and massive multiplayer online games, including role playing games, are the most prevalent types. Such servers can support thousands of gamers instantaneously with up-to-date programs. State of the art graphics and enhanced visuals enable the participants to view nebulas and galaxies like they never have before. Music and audio capabilities have matured as well, coordinating with certain moments in each level or different areas of engagement.

Online science fiction games are perfect for alien hunters looking to blast off and land onto graphic-pixelated rings of another planet. Story adventures are one option, for those who like to follow a plot and have a main obstruction to overcome in the end for victory- perhaps a shootout with an evil spaceship before becoming consumed by a black hole. Simple bull's eye games can also be found and are as simple as the implication of the name; the main objectives of these styles are to hit random targets spread throughout a level, like red rings on scattered aliens and rocks. One more variation is blowing up planets in a galaxy- perhaps in specific orders or as fast as possible to win.

Some shooting games are classics and always come to mind when certain subjects, like movies or specific guns and cannons, are mentioned. Original concepts are classics now days, such as the lone space ship equipped with a laser to defeat mobilized alien forces; movie themed games also have a classical potential, especially if designed after a hit movie. Games based upon movies or television series may also factor in guest appearances and cameo voice clips for added personality.

Sci fi and other worldly influences enhance the features of online space shooter games. Any intergalactic theme is feasible, with aliens and invasions or destruction of colonies being the more popular subjects. Players can undertake the role as captains of a fleet, where they either lead their team to victory or sustain incredible losses; these fleets can be either for the common good or for the wicked take-over of the planet, the decision is left up to the individual. Online space shooter games are varied and enjoyable by many audiences.
