help with search shmup lost ...

Post by ernestorp »

Hello friends.
I need help to find a shmup that played a few years ago ...
Have searched the net and can not find it ...
remember some features of the game:
1 - the pump was like a missile that disappeared on the screen. ( see image below )
2 - you could choose the jets to play.
3 - the game was very realistic for the time.
4 - Where reached a final phase enemy, a voice said "WARNNING".
I know it's very difficult with few reported data , but I appreciate any help.
Hugs !
Note: My English sucks! I'm using Google Translator rs

Already researched here and is not the Ketsui = / The game is very " colorful "
I remember some more information :
1 - the jets you had small homing missiles.
2 - The last enemy did not fit on the screen

Could it be Strikers 1999 (part 3)?

Also, you could watch this video and maybe it's one of these.

The image ernestorp links to seems to offer the clearest clue.

Could it be one of the Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings games? The options in the image don't quite fit with that, but maybe.

I sort of remember thar "WARNIG" voice. Is it female? I can even remember the bossfight music, but I can't hum it on here, obviously.

The weapons depicted make me think of Sonic Wings / Aero Fighters while the options remind me of Raiden Fighters. Other than that I have no idea. Battle Bakraid, perhaps?

Maybe Armed Police Batrider. That does not have the Warning, but the other stuff kinda fits, though there are lots of different players to choose from. It is VERY colourful though, and the last boss has an initial form that is quite large.

Kuuga - Operation Code "Vapor Trail"? - no bombs but it has selectable jets.

Based on the image I'd suspect it's a Raiden Fighters game, like Raiden Fighters Jet.

Jesus, this forum will never cease to amaze me, dialogue :

- Ernest : hey guys, I'm looking for a shmup game. You control a chosen jet that throws bombs and homing missiles. At the end of stage, there is a warning message and a big boss appears. Which one is it ?

- TomuS : it definitely IS Task Force Harrier.

:shock:

I feel ashame
I can HEAR that "WARNIG" sound clip in my head, but for some reason wanted to think it was Vapor Trail. Having just been listening to the various versions of the VT soundtrack earlier, the image reminded me strongly of the three plane types (though there's actually only two there) and the bomb item platform thing was similar.

But yeah, Task Force Harrier. Nice game! I think I put a thread up in the High Scores forum, see you there!

just a word of warning, the protection on task force harrier isn't 100% handled in MAME, so the dipswitches don't work. I made a note about this in MAME, but it needs a bit of code studying to work out the details.
