New to forum, looking for a particular game
Hi All
New to the forum, and love shmups, but am really struggling to find an old arcade game I used to play in the 1990's, over head solider based, two player game, think it was rail, not sure... a more modern ikari warriors, but will the wall of bullets thing, from time to time....
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
Pete

Might it have been one of the "shock troopers" games?

Re: New to forum, looking for a particular game
Thanks for the suggestions guys, doesn't look like any of those though.
It had stages that had been more spacey looking, from memory, but some not so much
Man, my memory is rubbish, aside from having such fond memories playing this game lol

Re: New to forum, looking for a particular game
Not a game from the 90s, but the first thing that came to mind when you said "spacey" was Alien Syndrome.
Or the MSDOS game Operation Carnage. But that's, you know, an MSDOS game.
Smash TV?

This game wouldn't happen to take place in a spaceship would it?
Play for fun and win when you can.

This kinda looks right, but the characters look bigger than I remember and I dont remember any cars / bikes, and it being a lot darker in colour and toneAFXisatwin wrote:Could it be Gundhara by Banpresto?

Like Ikari Warriors, but with futuristic stuff. How about Ikari II: Victory Road?
