    Name this game?

    Something from my coworker:

    • Arcade title
    • Was in Japanese when he played it so he doesn't know the name, but suggests a Japanese developer
    • late 80s
    • 2d side-scrolling
    • Platformer feel
    • Maybe the character can throw axes
    • Upon starting it, you're shown a map through which you progress to the end of the game
    • Maybe was simultaneous 2-player
    • Nothing obvious, like Ghosts & Goblins
    • Maybe starts in a jungle setting


    He mentioned Wonder Boy and G&G when describing it but didn't believe it was either of these.

    Sounds VERY much like Wonderboy to me

      He insists it wasn't - but maybe it was one of the sequels?

          I don't think so [MENTION=10111]QualityChimp[/MENTION] - he seems pretty clear about it having a map.

                Definitely not this.

                He thinks it might have been Caveman Ninja, @QualityChimp - but he's pretty sure about the map.

                EDIT: He also things mid-80s - definitely not 90s.

                  It's definitely not Golden Axe, or he's mixing them up?

                    Tiger Road?
                    Legendary Axe?
                    Astyanax?

                      Rygar? Not that you throw an axe, but still might be.

                        Does sound Tiger Road-y.

                          No axe, but it otherwise sounds like Wardner.



                          ...or perhaps Toki

                            He thinks it might've been Caveman Ninja, but he recalls there being a map at the start, and CN doesn't have one.

                            Still, he's not certain. He said with it being over 30 years ago, it's a bit of a blur, and he might be conflating several different games in his memory.
