Looking for 2 games...

Post by Kroah » Sun Feb 26, 2006 1:53 am

Hello,

I remember playing 2 games, 15 years ago, but can't find them nor their name...

The first is a racing game. Two players can play simultaneously (or against a loosy cpu), the screen is vertically splitted and players can only move horizontally (the car moves left and right but don't turns). The game is really fast with a very good vertical scrolling (scrolls up) and the (yellow ?) cars are a little big. The road is grey and the border green. On the title screen, (not sure) a nadral like sprite moves. The music is toccata and fugue in Re minor from J.S. Bach.

The second game is a little bit like the game "berserk but with a vertical scrolling and very strange colors (bluish redish and some like the crystals in Boulder Dash AFAIK). I think there's only 1 biiig level and the player moves up firing at everything moving. At the begining, there's few "monsters" and at the end, the screen is literraly filled of them like hell.

If you have any idea, i'll be rally happy :)
Thanks in advance,
Kroah

The first one should be Highway Duel... How about Destination: Unknown for the second title?

One word: PERFECT ! 8)

It's High Way Duel and Destination: Unknown.

I thought that the screen was vertically splitted in Highway... Bad memory...

It's very hard to find a game we remember visually, but can't put a name on it. And browsing all the pictures for all games... aaargh :?

Thanks,
Kroah

Another game

Post by Kroah » Tue Mar 14, 2006 5:30 am

I won't start a new thread because this is the same... problem... An image, some ideas and a puzzle. Here it is:
- this is a game where the player moves a black blobby thing which can eat (?) some other blobby things
- the more he eats (or is hit ?) the slowest he becomes
- there's sort of top down maze with scrolling, pink corridors and blue background

Don't remember anything else... aaaargh i become mad... :shock:

Thanks for help :)

Hello all,

It's an incredible necro-bump... but YES, i needed seven years and i finally found it! (in france, we say "better late than never").

I thought the background was blue, but heh, memory... i was almost correct indeed :).

The game is "Bio-Defense" !
