"Sentinel" top down shooter for Windows

[Amayirot Akago]

Trying to find this game that suddenly popped back into my head the other day:


Had the word "Sentinel(s)" in the title somewhere
Played it sometime in the late 90's/early 2000's most likely
Windows 95/98 game
Found it on a Twilight disc (pirated software collection)
2D, played from a top down perspective
Player controls a ship trying to shoot down enemies which are trying to get at crystals/artifacts which you must defend
Between waves, you can upgrade your ship using points you earn
If all crystals/artifacts are destroyed, the game ends (I think)
Game had pretty nice high resolution graphics and smooth movement


That's about all I can remember. Mobygames doesn't seem to know it so I was hoping someone around here might know more.

Could you describe a little bit more how the gameplay works? It reminded of defender, but that one was sideways. More specifically, how to enemies take/destroy the crystals and where are these found?

Ah, right. The game took place on a single screen, the crystals (actually, I think might have been glyphs or something) were in set positions and enemies entered the screen one after another. I don't fully remember the details whether the enemies destroyed the crystals/glyphs/artifacts/whatever or took them with them. I think it might have been the latter.

Sentinels of Seth, Twilight #24.

I have no idea where to get it other way, unfortunately. PM me if you'll not found it.

Awesome! Figured the Twilight connection would help, those things were a great source for obscure games back in the day. Well, a quick Google search has left me completely in the dark, so some help in getting it is much appreciated :) Thanks so much!

It's 5Mb in RAR-archive. I can send it to you in mail - or give me file-sharing service where I can put it. :)

I won't vouch for this site, but google found this (http://erorcorqui33.soup.io/post/388745137/Download-sentinels-of-ceth).

Smiling Spectre already sent me the game. Thanks anyway.

And the reason I couldn't find anything on Google before is cause he misspelled the title (it's Ceth instead of Seth), but hey, no harm done ;) Very happy, thanks everyone!

EDIT: Hm, upon closer inspection the installer that Spectre sent me doesn't work, but I was able to find a registered version over here anyway:

Ah. Well, sorry for that. I copied the title from the Twilight description. I never started the game myself. :)

Well, now that you can finally play it again, few screenshots and short description won't hurt :)

As you wish :)

Sentinels of Ceth is a simple arcade shooter from 1997. As the titular Sentinel, you protect the precious gems in the center of the screen from waves of enemies who are trying to steal them. You have infinite lives, but take time to respawn if you are destroyed, leaving the gems vulnerable for a short time. If all gems are stolen, the game ends. Between waves, you can use points earned from shooting down enemies and keeping the gems safe to buy upgrades and weapons to help in the fight. As the game goes on, more and tougher enemies will spawn in each wave, and the action quickly becomes more frantic. Definitely a fun little time-waster :)
