I need some help I am trying to find an old arcade game that I loved playing in the arcade but I cannot remember the name. Well anyways here is the description.
It was a basic 2-d fighter, around the time of SF2, and it had a character in it that Wore a purple outfit, had fork like things for hands and also had a special move that involved fire. Im sorry I cant remember more, but I would be very appreciative if anyone would like to take a stab at this.
Thanks!

Post by: SNICK! on August 15, 2004, 12:09:00 PM
it was made in 1992 (before killer instinct) so it couldn't have been.

More than just a pretty face.
Actually there was a forum where I used to post that had a dedicated 'What's this old game?' thread. I always used to get them right however vague the description. Maybe we should have something similar here so I can further show off my encyclopedic gaming knowledge.

Okay how about this one then,
Its a Mountain Climbing game in the snow and you can choose from alot of stuff to take with you,
The game is viewed from the side until you reach parts where you will have to climb,
then its more of a moving around left/right/up while trying to avoid falling rocks and trying to grab parts that wont let loose.
I played the game on the Atari ST but i dont remember the name.

its a car racing game. very old style graphics (like nes)-i think!?!?
you drive from the bottom to the top, there was a black and/or red car i think.
you could shoot at other cars and you had to drive into a truck from the back. (similar to knight rider..)
not much, but maybe someone knows it??
i played it 1990 in an arcade in italy (vacation).

it was a sega genesis game, my brother found it in a garbage can when i was around 6 years old
from what i remember
it starts out as a first person driving game
then you would drive until you ran out of gas, after you ran out of gas you would get out of your car and it became a 2d side scrolling shooting game
from what i remember when you got out of your car, it became really hard

There has been disputes in my house for a long time about this game my moms boyfriend and my best friend thought it was street fighter 1 since they seemed to remember it had ryu and ken but i keep telling them street fighter 1 was a fighting 1 on 1 game so maybe it had people that looked like them.
Its not a lot but i was 7 and the timer was the one thing i remember that i didn't like since i didn't have a lot of money.
i dont know if its even emulated but it could be.
The funny thing about devel world is if i wouldn't have found it a couple years ago i would have finally found it here since i only could remember the level with the bridges and how you would go over them and they would break but i think i played the 3 player one with the added extra guy i cant recall the name but i thank its the bootleg version.

Are there any other details you remember? Since the distinctive timer you describe sounds like a dipswitch function that may not have been enabled in all cabinets. There are several games I know of from that time period that fit your basic description.

It was for the SNES, a puzzle game involving the character transforming into fruit. It was 2D, and they were enemies as you tried to work your way up to the exit. It was not Soul Dagger (Or whatever the Pirate platformer involving fruit happened to be named).
I seem to recall Nick Arcade when I think of the game, but that could just be the time period I played it during.

Since I was an Amiga gal, these ST games are always the toughest.
But Game 1 is probably Dragon Breed:

but could also be Saint Dragon:

| Game 2: this was a flying game where your a small dogfighter, its only 2d and you start off at your base and if you fly left or right off the screen the screen doesnt move, it basically just refreshes to a whole new screen and you carry on flying. if you crash it plays that war memorial music. |
Game 2 sounds alot like Sky Strike,
though it's been a long time since I played it.

Hmm, that's a tricky one. Are you sure the character actually transformed into fruit. The first transforming puzzle game that comes off the top of my head is Super Morph. But he doesn't change into fruit despite looking not unlike one.

Its an Commodore 64 game, played it a lot, as I remember, it was a car game, something like micro machines, but it wasen`t quite that either..
You had the "bird" view, cars driving forward, you could move the car from left to right, and do some AMAZING jumps,.
It was the jumping scene i remember good, the car was like, getting bigger and bigger as it was comeing closer to your face, and then smaller and smaller till it s back on the ground.., if you understand what i mean..
I know sorry, poor english... the year hmm... Don`t have a clue, but i played it from 89-93 or something...

Never played much Commodore 64, but it sounds similar to Bump 'n Jump. If that game was on the 64, that might be it. I'm sure there's other games that use the same jumping view, but that's the only one I can think of right now.
Edit: After a quick search, it looks like it could be "Burnin' Rubber", which is supposed to be very similar to Bump 'n Jump.

Great. thx.. You was right, it was Burnin Rubber, but i seems that the jumping button don`t work too good, i couldn`t jump... I managed to jump one time, and that was when pressing alle the buttons and stuff.. Sad, have to check out some more... But thx for finding it...

ok here we go
it was about a boy.. who had frog who you put in the high jump contest...ends up getting tested for steriods because he drank this cola.. he tests positive. Then you come home and have a babysitter who turns into a bat. You need to suck her up with the vaccum....Once that is over you have to ride a waverider to the end where you have to fight some crazy scientists.... I think it was lucas arts who made it.

You controlled some cowboy on this screen that was shaped to make the guy appear to be standing on top of the screen. It was an amazing idea but the game was really really really bad. All you did was shoot random enemies that popped up out of nowhere on your left and right....you couldn't walk around or anything (I dont think).
Its the only "Hologram" type game I've ever seen before. It came out in the early 90s I think.

All I really remember about it(since I was about 6) was that you could move around like you would in games like Final Fight, but would only fight maybe 3 or 4 generic guys before the boss. After beating the the forst sub-boss, you would decapitate him with your sword and his head would go flying in the air. You could also jump ridiculously high, which was a bit awkward to control. That's about all I remember about it, since it was so long ago, but I'm hoping someone else remembers this game and can name it. |

It's a Sega Geneis game where you play as some normal guy but after a certain number of points, he turns into this HUGE muscular person and was like near-invincible (I think... but its not Altered Beast, this game is a lot more cartoony). The game was something like a platformer I think, but I just remember when he was normal, he was very meek (like RARE's Sabre-guy) but when he transformed, he got at least 2 or 3 times his normal size.

It was a 2 player shooter, with an overhead view. You were on some kind of speeder bike. (Not star wars). Your bike could shoot, and so could your pilot. There was a spinner controller that rotated your pilot so he could shoot in any direction. The bike would always shoot forward.

Arcade mid to late 90's scrolling fighter/beat-em up like final fight 2 player (mabye four?) and one of the stages is set in a fun park with clowns and stuff as enemies, i played this a few times and can remember how statisfying it was to smash those annoying little clowns.
Commodore64 late 80's i think (not sure), platform game like mario where the player is a short old man with a white beard. pretty vague but thats all i can remember.
Post by: notserbamma on August 23, 2004, 07:36:00 PM

It's a side scrolling 2d fighting game like golden axe, but not 3/4 view. The main character is a barbarian looking guy with a sword. He climbs up and down ropes.

I know this is extreamily vague, but that is all i can remember. I doubt any will get this one, but i thought it was worth a shot. |
rygar?
heres one ive been wondering about.
hologram game.
white cabinet, with a plastic dome on it.
it gave the "hologram" image by reflecting a reversed screen from the bottom.
had live action style characters. never played it because it was one of those "one dollar" games, that i didnt have the time to waste my money playing lol. but i always did watch ppl play it.

Army shooter. 1p was blue 2p was red uniform
buttons: shoot, grenade, roll (dodge)
you stood at the bottom of the screen and enemys came out from behind things.
bits of walls and stuff would destroy from memory
there was a town/empty building type thing for stage one. stage three or so was a swamp
the aiming was done via a square crosshair that moved all over the screen

This one was answered earlier in the thread... the game is Time Traveler (although there was also a fighting game on the same hardware who's name escapes me).

| Here's a NEO GEO game that I've been trying to find...my uncle described it for me during an IM convo like this: (10:54:02 PM): that game is like a two dimensional fighting game, with three main characters one of which is named something like bad blue, he has this punch that is so fast it is like being hit three times each time he punches (10:59:46 PM): the funny thing about the game was after beating few players i fought this guy, if memory serves correctly he has on an american flag looking outfit with stars and was red, white, and blue and if you lose to him he gives you the finger, i thought it was funny because i had never seen anything like that in a video game at that time |
Violence Fight had a character in it called Bad Blue, one on one fighting game, but there were four characters u could select from and i dont think there was a person in an american outfit in it....which brings me to my query:
1 on 1 arcade fighting game, 1-2players, the arena was sorta like pit fighter where you had alot of people surrounding (and cars) but the grafx were more cartoony the main character i think wore a orange martial arts outfit (pants) and could only kick and there was also a wrestler character in it who had the stars n stripes on his tights...this game was also released on megadrive (genesis) later on.

found it! after following the link you posted, i went thru a couple of hundred names on the site and with a few hours of patience, sheer willpower and dumb luck found the game...but its not really quite how i remembered it...
Street Smart.
for some reason i remembered a dude in stars n stripes tights and the main character in an orange martial arts uniform...ahh well. cheers for the help VampX

yeah, i know what you mean, i used to look at Snes owners and their fancy pants street fighter II games, squaresoft rpgs, castlevania series and mode7 grafx and get all green with envy, then sfII champions came out (for megadrive way way earlier than it did for snes) and a couple of castlevanias and everything in the world was good again, sega vs nintendo all square.

| I only ever made it to the second level in this game, so my knowledge is pretty limited. A couple more details are that the first level took place outside, possibly near a castle and the second level was in a cave. I think that the second boss had some sort of living, spider -like bone armor, but maybe I'm just making that up. |
The game you are looking for might be galdiator.

My guess would be APB, its the only game I can think of thats is an overhead view cop game.

Here's one I've been looking for a while. It's a final fight type game, thinking late 80's early 90's and you can pick 4 different characters. Now the cool thing about this one is that you could press a certain button right next to your enemy (ANY enemy) and you would become them and have all their moves and stuff, I thought it was the coolest thing. While punching them you could do this real-time, it was pretty neat. I think it's emulated by MAME but not sure, maybe Taito made it also

| The game was on NES it was a limited release. Had a co-sponsor deal with MTV, where MTV gave a secret password on the air which you had to use to unlock a new level or something. Finish the game with the new level, send in a screenshot, and prizes were awarded. It was a sidescroll platformer. I remember big steel boots were magnetic, and you used them to walk in crazy places albeit slow. Title was 2 words. |

I don't remember much, but it was in the arcades in the early 90's. Possibly NEO-GEO, but I don' think so. Anywho, you get to choose different schools, pick 3 people? and fight against other schools. I think it was quasi-side scroller. I know it isn't rival schools. But I really would like to remember which game this was. please help!
Post by: addyb on January 11, 2005, 08:36:00 AM
Anyway it was a side scrolling shooter IE, metal slug, contra and you was a soldier dressed in armour (you may have been a robot) and anyway all i can remember is that as you start the first level you will run up and down slopes and midway through or perhaps the end of the 1st level you come up to some water and you fight a dinosaur type creature. I used to think it was called "soldier of light" or something like that.
Can anyone help with this, it was deffo late eighties maybe done by taito but thats a wild guess

Nice to see this thread back from the dead. "Rise from your grave," indeed!
Anyone know if the Amiga's Apydia ever made it to any other system (arcade, specifically)? I loved that game, but horrid load times!!
I do see that there's a PC remake project, I'll have to check it out...
