Robotron Rogue-like

Shoot First is a fast paced top down shooter with randomly generated levels, a kickin soundtrack, and a Spelunky style sense of humor. (via Pixel Prospector)
None of these links are to the actual game. There is a RAR link in the first one, though.

A fun game but for something that looks like it was made for the Atari 5200 it runs pretty damn choppy on my machine.

Selfnoise, turn off the scanlines, it'll help.
I've been playing this on and off for a while now, it's really a great game.

I did, unfortunately it didn't help that much. It wouldn't be so bad except I watched the Youtube video where it is butter smooth.

Probably should note: Windows-only.
AAAAAAAUGH.

also confused by the slowness but I had slightly more success bringing it to fullscreen after removing scanlines.

A Robotron rogue-alike? Once I get home I look forward to being addicted.
I love top down shooters. Between Geometry Wars and iPhone games like MiniGore they're coming back

This is unplayably slow on my laptop, even with scanlines turned off and fullscreen. Total bummer, this look right up my alley.
