A couple of years ago I found this game somewhere on the internet. My brother and I used to play it a lot and we got some really high scores, which we sent to the high score list on the website of MK Games. The high score list now seems to be gone, but the game is still here!

This is the Special Edition of Action Point.
The goal in the game is to destroy as much green, dark green and black balls as you can. The green balls have no specific task, you just have to destroy them, as well as the dark green balls, which just give you some more points than the green balls. The black balls will destroy you, if you don't destroy them. There's also a box, which will give you a weapon upgrade when you pick it up. The clock will give you some extra time when you pick it. If you destroy the last two, it will cost you some points.

This is a simple but very addictive shooting game. Try it out, maybe you'll get addicted to it too.

In this game you will have a plane that moves sideways at the bottom of the screen and shoots upwards to balls that fall. There are three different kinds of balls:
-Green: produce low damage to your airplane and are the ones that show up with the higher frequency.
-Dark Green: produce medium to high damage to your plane. Are smaller than green balls don't come as often.
-Black: these are as big as the green ones and will blow your plane up.

There are different kinds of weapons, that you get from red boxes that also come from the sky. There will be clocks falling too, that will give you more time to play. You have to be careful, or you will shoot them down with your bullets and won't be able to get them.
The different weapons are:
-Simple bullets that come out of the tip of the plane
-Double bullets, one from each side of your plane
-Thicker double red bullets
-Flat tubes that look like missiles sideways, that take up more room in the screen, hence helping you get rid of the green balls that continuously fall at an increasing rate.
-Wider flat tube weapon: wider than the previous one, obviously will give you more fire power.
-Big red triangles: yes, you guessed right: these are even bigger and more powerful.

This game was released on 02' by MK Games. It is pretty addictive, but there is only one level to it. It is compatible with XP, and it even requires installation to be able to run it. However, I guess it doesn't like it a lot because it crashes every now and then.
The graphics are not very advanced, but decent for a 2mb game.
You will also be able to send a code that contains your info and the score, to the creator's email, so that he can upload it on the high scores and you can see how hot you are doing compared to the other gamers.
The game is easy to learn and sort of hard to get good at because there's lots of stuff going on in your screen while you are playing, trying to hit all the little balls. One of the problems you have at the beginning and that will influence your effectiveness is that the bullets are way too small and spaced out to hit all the balls. However, as you get better weapons it will get kinda easier to hit all of them.
