Play Vulcan Online
1996 Amiga horizontal shooter with arena battles. Fight alien waves, fireball projectiles, and magma bosses. Upgrade weapons with thermal energy power-ups. Features parallax scrolling and 32-color visuals.
Vulcan came out for the Amiga in 1996, developed by Black Legend and published by Vulcan Software. It arrived late in the Amiga's life, a time when many players were already looking toward newer systems, but it offered a solid, visually polished take on the horizontal shooter genre that felt right at home on the platform.
You pilot a small, agile ship through a series of volcanic alien landscapes, fighting off relentless waves of enemies and dodging their fireball projectiles. Your main goal is simply to survive each screen based arena, clearing out all foes before moving to the next challenging stage. You collect thermal energy power ups to upgrade your weapons, switching between different firing modes to handle swarms or tougher enemies. The game uses smooth parallax scrolling and makes strong use of the Amiga's 32 color palette, giving the lava filled environments a dangerous, glowing look. The pacing is fast and the difficulty is steep, demanding quick reflexes and careful positioning. It feels tense and immediate, a straightforward shooter that asks for your full attention from start to finish.
