I've created a monster! I love it when you're reminded of a great game you played ages ago and say "oooh yeeeeah! I remember that!".

Hmmm... not sure of your game. Can you narrow down the platform? Console, computer, arcade?

Nice work mezzanine



How cool is that cover

[Yoshimax]

Mezzanine does the next one or somebody else can fire in ?

[mezzanine]

In this game, rather than save mankind or the princess you have to battle with money problems, bad postal service and a dodgy heart. Has exciting 'realistic' features like forms to fill in.

Probably too easy but which game is it?

Name escapes me at the mo QualityChimp, I used to play this a fair bit

Maybe I'll come to me...

OK then, here's another one seeing as you're all doing so well!

• This is an older arcade
• Driving and shooting game
• there's a steering wheel AND a gun!
• you drive on the moon and arrive at a building
• you then draw the gun and shoot the aliens that appear in the windows

It's a real game, not some cheese-fueled nightmare!

Sounds like Lucky and Wild, but I don't recall any moon/aliens in that...

[mezzanine]

Too hard more like. I thought some Douglas Adams fan might have guessed though.

If anyone else wants to try thinking of an obscure old game that nobody will get , then go ahead

[Mayhem]

It was similar to that, but set in space... you drive over a moon like planet, you have to collect crystals in this collector at the front to keep your energy up but avoid the mines that can damage the collector.

How about that one fighting game with an Asian guy in a gi and that one busty girl?

Just moved QualityChimp's original posts and merged the two threads together, like. Great thread, btw.

[QualityChimp]

ooh, this could get confusing! Thanks for sorting Seany!

Mayhem - you're on the right track! You've played the game too. What on earth is it called? I searched KLOV for "moon" but nothing seemed to come up.

Lucky & Wild is only listed as "Shooter" as opposed to "Shooter/Driving" so I can't search for other games of this genre. I can't think of many other arcade games where you have a steering wheel and a gun.

Shou - what platform is the game you're thinking of based on?

[Mayhem]

I'm sure it was featured in one of the arcade guides I've got at home, so I might have a look tonight if I remember...

Youz lot are mental - I meant pick a game you already know the answer to and leave clues like breadcrumbs
