Terroid

Terroid (1996) is a classic side-scrolling space shoot-'em-up developed by Digital Nightmares and published by Lomax Software.The game presents a sci-fi narrative centered on a lone starfighter pilot embarking on a desperate rescue operation. The story begins after an aggressive hostile force hailing from the planet XRIMA launches a devastating assault on the protagonist's homeworld. The attack ends in total tragedy as the hero's planet is completely destroyed by the invaders. Following the destruction of their home, the surviving peaceful inhabitants—known as the Orbians—are captured and taken into forced labor.
As the sole survivor capable of fighting back, the player assumes the role of the Orbians' last remaining hope. To save their enslaved people from imminent execution and subjugation, the protagonist pilots a heavily armed spacecraft directly toward enemy territory. The campaign requires fighting through distinct, hostile environments across the galaxy, beginning in deep space and continuing through orbit. The journey intensifies as the player breaches the atmosphere of XRIMA to battle across its treacherous planetary surface.
Finally, the player must penetrate the heart of XRIMA's heavily fortified megacity to destroy the supreme enemy defenses. Victory rests entirely on blasting through waves of hostile starships, robotic defenses, and planetary bastions to liberate the Orbians and avenge the lost homeworld.
