Frequently asked questions
Where should I start?
Start with the prologue, then explore the categories. Use search for a particular game or topic.
Where is the River Raid article?
It is under Arcade classics. Search recognises River Raid and the alternative spelling River Ride.
What can I play from the Gate?
There are two demos: Main Arcade in Snow / Arctic and Time Attack in Night. Each has two bridges, unlimited ships and no tokens. Their conditions differ from those of the full game.
How do I control the craft?
On a keyboard, left/A and right/D move sideways; down/S accelerates; up/W brakes; space/Z fires; P pauses. Gamepad support is also available. The exact mapping depends on the controller and browser.
Do Fuel and TNT work the same way?
Blue Fuel restores energy through contact. Contact with red TNT causes an explosion and costs a life. Recognising them is part of reading the route.
What establishes a checkpoint?
Crossing the bridge establishes the checkpoint. Destroying it and crossing it are distinct actions.
Can Time Attack be used for practice?
Alejandro also sees it as an opportunity to practise. It remains a timed challenge: the clock is still part of the run.
Does one test confirm compatibility with every device?
No. Documented tests concern particular configurations and conditions. Opening the game, playing it, checking audio and assessing controls are different checks.
How do I change an article’s language?
The English or Español link opens the same piece in the other language.
Are the classics discussed included in ALEXX SkyRider™?
The articles examine them as historical and comparative examples. They are not presented as games included in the project or as official collaborations.
