help me put a name to this shmup :)

Post by bwod1e »

hey shmupers!

I was stoned last night and i had a lovely blast to the past about a game i used to play every holidays at a holiday park we went to yearly. i thought shit, why havent i remembered this game before!
I was bloody young so i can only remember small details, especially that i loved the game!

It was horizontal, and you flew in kind of futuristic cars with cannons on em
i have a feeling you had a blue and red car depending what player you were..
i seem to remember at some part in it flying with clouds and stuff, shooting in the sky

Thanks for your help peoples :)

Not Armed Police Unit Gallop? There are no cars, but your main ship is like a police car... sort of.

Erm.... uhhh..... City Connection?

You sure you weren't just smoking weed and just high off your gourd and imagined the whole thing? :lol:

We need a new policy where anyone making a topic like this is immediately banned.

Just think of the utopia it would create.

Zed Blade has a ship that looks like a futuristic car, but I don't know if there is a stage with clouds. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?let ... e_id=10523

Are you sure, because in your first post you said you were "stoned" that night.

Your best bet is to run thru Mame. Goto the menu screen on the left -> Genre -> Shootr.hor -> play each game and figure it out.

I think you were probably just stoned on the horizontal part, because pretty much everything else matches up with Turbo Force. Flying Delorean-looking cars, red and blue player colors, 2nd stage is in the clouds... it's all there.
