Faster Than Light (FTL) was a software publishing label established by United Kingdom video game publisher Gargoyle Games. The aim was for FTL to publish arcade-style games,[1][2] while Gargoyle would concentrate on its core business of adventure games.
Games
- Light Force (1986) was a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up with a large main ship. The player had to survive alien attacks in four different sectors of the planet Regulus.[3]
- Hydrofool (1987) was an isometric 3D game set in a giant aquarium, and a sequel to the similar (though drier) Sweevo's World. The player had to avoid fish and collect objects with the ultimate aim of pulling out enough plugs to drain the aquarium.[4]
- Shockway Rider (1987) was set in the future, where gangs of thugs roamed the moving walkways built around a huge city. The player had to collect weapons and bonus objects, and go "full circle" by surviving the perilous journey through the eight districts.[5]
