In this video, G-Loc (G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness) R360, released in 1991 for the Atari ST by U.S.Gold.
I must admit I'm embarassed showing this game, but my goal is to show nearly every game made on the ST both good and bad ones, so let's go.
This is the conversion from the combat flight simulator arcade game published by Sega. It's the ideal sequel of the Afterburner series. We pilot an experimental aircraft, the A8M5 and our mission is to destroy targets, like ships, tanks or other jet fighters. Once we take too many hits or the time runs out the game is over. G-Loc, like Afterburner is played in first person perspective but, once we got locked by an enemy missile, the perspective changes to third person to allow us to shake off the enemies and missiles by performing evasive maneuvers.
Now the ST port: IMHO graphically this game looks awful, it lacks colors, it's slow and suffers slowdowns, the controls are bad and the audio is terrible, resulting in an unpleasing experience.
G-Loc is in my personal top 20 worst ST ports game list.
Here you'll find loading screens, difficulty and in-game keys settings and gameplay
