In addition to Triplane and Liero there were:
- Rocket / space ship fighter AUTS and its later more advanced successors Wings and Rocket Chase
- Top-down racing game Slicks 'n' Slide
- Tapan Kaikki series (TK), a top-down shooter that was like a multiplayer version of Miami Hotline
- Mine Bombers, which was a bit like Liero
