A game that looks and feels very similar to Nintendo's Starfox games, Starfish Chronicles is a Shockwave game of the same space-flight shmup genre. The game makes effective use of many of Shockwave 3D's more advanced features to create a compelling experience that rivals commerical offerings. Although control is with the arrow keys and the space bar is used to shoot, I recommend using a USB Gamepad with this to create your own configuration. For example, the up arrow causes the ship to dive, down arrow to climb. That just doesn't feel natural to me, and was the reason I couldn't get far in the first level. But control issues aside, there is an excellent game designed into Starfish Chronicles, with which developer Darla Soft has spent a great deal of attention to detail. Hosted on Quadgames.com. The game takes about a minute to load.
