I write arcade games for a hobby and Seas of Neptune (http://www.checkmypages.com/neptune/) is my latest.

It will play on your PC or on your cab assuming you have Java. It's a straightforward shooter except you're sitting on top of a rough sea (be careful not to get swamped) and with aliens emerging from the depths. Your aim is to harvest rain and gas. Some of the gas bubbles have power ups. Watch your shields, fuel and ammo levels else you die. Watch the sea as if you get swamped you die. Of course you also need to watch out for the aliens which will emerge from the depths beneath you and then swirl above trying to crash into you - too much damage and you die. There is a quick tutorial which I think is helpful. High scores are global so you can see how you do against others.
I'd appreciate some feedback (suggestions/constructive criticism/was it interesting/fun etc). Hope you enjoy it and good luck.

PS if you're putting it on your cab then you'll need to press Pause (P) and set the input to MAME. If it's not connected to the web then set high scores to LOCAL. Then press Pause again to get back to the game. It should remember your settings.
