nighthawk

X11 shoot-'em up which requires some lateral thinking

Nighthawk is a shoot-'em up which requires thinking more than reflexes. Your goal is to destroy droids occupying a fleet of reclaimed starships. You start out as a 002 Paradroid with very poor firepower and shielding but have the ability to transfer your programs over to a new droid, effectively taking it over. As you take control of bigger and better droids, you gain better firepower and shielding.
