According to Tim Conkling, its designer, Corpsecraft is an RTS-Match 3 hybrid; but actually, the RTS-ish gameplay is closer to that of Rescue Rangers or Steam Brigade than it is to, say, Warcraft.

Each player has a base at opposite sides of the screen, and builds units (various types of zombies, for the most part) and dispatches them to attack the enemy. They stagger across the screen, fighting each other, the ultimate objective being to reach the enemy base and destroy it (over time, with repeated attacks). There are several different unit types (introduced over a number of levels in the soloplay game, so you may learn their characteristics more readily), each with different characteristics.

Maverick

In 1979, a friend of mine who produced records for punk bands gave me a 45 single with a song on it called "Back in the 80s." It was pretty good, though I don't remember the band's name, nor did I ever hear it anywhere else. 1979, remember. Listening to that song produced the same feeling of temporal dislocation that playing this game does -- in the opposite direction.

Like this, say: Maverick is the most original 80s arcade game to be released in the 21st century.
