Please help.

I want to know about two games:

1) It's a vertical shoot'em up like Xevious but you have powerups/"parts for your spaceship" which are numbered. Each time you collect these powerups it adds another piece to your ship. It has the ability to temporarily split your spacecraft into the number of parts you've powered up by giving you a "spread" weapon. When you collect all powerups your ship turns invincible into a fire falcon for several seconds?

2) A horizontal and vertical spacecraft shooter. If I remember correctly you start from a vertical view shooting at enemies. There are massive holes on the ground at certain stages on the level which you can fly into, to go underground which turns into a horizontal scroller. The same applies vice versa so you can go back into over ground/vertical view.


Both were 80's arcade games?

Many thanks

Thanx for the help!

I have worked out the first game thanx to your help. The game is called Terra Cresta. Cresta triggered a small cell in my brain and did a google search:

Game 2 is not quite the one I'm thinking of but does have trademarks of the old game. The graphics was lot better, prorbably more up to date than Terra Cresta. I wonder if there was an updated version of Space Odeyssey. Both games were coin-ups I played at the time.
