Thexder 95

About

Thexder 95 is a fast paced action game where you control a robot fighting through enemy bases while managing a dynamic camera that splits the screen into multiple windows. You run jump and shoot in a side scrolling format but the interface lets you track both your character and the environment in real time. The game adds new levels and scripted sequences to the original 1986 DOS title while keeping the core loop of dodging traps and blasting foes. The split screen design was unusual for 1995 and remains a standout feature even now. Fans of retro action games often cite its tight controls and chaotic pacing as highlights. With a cult following that’s still active online the game’s mix of platforming and shooter elements holds up better than most titles from the mid 90s.
