Download Armalyte - The Final Run_Disk2 ROM – Amiga Game

Armalyte: The Final Run is one of those classic Amiga shooters that feels like a love letter to R-Type, but with its own gritty personality. You start off with a basic forward shot—nothing fancy—but holding down fire charges up a beefier blast that’ll save your skin when swarms of Aalan Empire ships fill the screen. The upgrades are simple but make a real difference: pick between a three-way spread, vertical shots, or a single backward blast (though you can only have one at a time, so choose wisely).

The levels throw everything at you—not just enemy waves, but acid drips, sudden stalactite drops, and even a brutal speed-scrolling section where dodging becomes a reflex test. And those boss fights? Huge, screen-filling beasts that take pattern memorization and a steady trigger finger. The homing missiles in the final level feel like a last-minute gift from the universe, just when you need them most.

It’s tough, but in that satisfying way where every run teaches you something new. You’ll probably lose a few ships figuring out which weapon works best for each stage, but that’s half the fun.
