Considered starting a new thread, but I'll try with this old one.
Im trying to help a friend finding the name of an arcade game. Unfortunately he cant remember very much from it, so I really dont expect you to be able to find this out
I'll quote some of the parameters he remembers.
So its an
Arcade game.
Its probably from around
~1987. He remember playing it when he finished school at
-89. (So sometime around this era)
He's into games like Galaga, and when I asked him to describe the graphics he mentions "
better graphics than Galaga" and "
not your galaga pixels"... "
starting to look better than that" ... "
fast moving realistic kind of looking".
About the gameplay he mentions "
you are a dude who run from left to right across the screen. The screen remains centered on you, but the screen scrolls from left to right. You control the movement (its not automatically moving from left to right).
Different enemies appeared and he mentions "
rolling bugs" ... "
rhino looking things".
Yould be able to
fire out a forcefield and your
arms would stretch out in front like you were punching the forcefield out.
He remembers a "
jungle type background".
Not many parameters to go with here.
Any thoughts on what game this might be?
Or any thoughts on any good follow-up questions I can ask my friend, that could help pinpointing this game?
