Play Over Horizon (Europe) Online
You control a ship with guns that rotate 360 degrees—mess up the angles and basic enemies shred you, but nail it and you’re blasting fools from behind while weaving through chaos. Later stages turn into pure NES bullet hell with screen-filling bosses and synth tracks that’ll have your hands sweating.
Over Horizon came out for the NES in 1991, published by Pixel in Europe. It was one of those late-era shooters that really pushed the hardware, arriving at a time when developers were squeezing every last bit of performance out of the console. It didn't have the widespread recognition of some other titles, but it stood out for its particular approach to the genre.
You pilot a nimble spacecraft with a primary weapon that rotates freely in all directions. Your main goal is to survive through horizontally scrolling stages, clearing out enemy formations and defeating large bosses. The core mechanics involve constantly adjusting your weapon's firing angle to hit enemies from any direction and collecting power-ups to enhance your firepower. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is steep, especially in later levels where enemy bullets fill the screen. It feels like a constant, tense dance of positioning and precise aiming.
