Can anyone remember this Megadrive game?

Post by qwesta »

I've been trying to remember the name of this horizontal shmup on the Megadrive/Genesis, I think you played as a baby on a flying surfboard or something, but I knew it for it's amazing industrial soundtrack, I could be wrong but I think it had commander or captain or something in the name.

Thank you all!

Mayhap entirely wrong, but could you be thinking of Silver Surfer on the NES? That's partially horizontal, obviously has a surfboard and a great soundtrack. I'm extremely sure there is no pure horizontal shmup on the MD that fits the description, unless you mean Atomic Robo-Kid (flying baby = flying little robot? If so, Arrow Flash is another potential candidate) or, even more far-fetched, one of the Battle Mania games.

If it is Silver Surfer, talk about a soundtrack.
One of THE soundtracks of that era, it's so good!

It's not using any special hardware features. It's Tim Follin who can do that.

So... Was it Silver Surfer, Robo-Kid or neither?

There's one with a baby looking guy flying on a cloud called "Cloud Master" for the Sega Master system. Could that be it?
