Search for a platform shooter like Lemmings or Benefactor
« on: May 11, 2003, 08:43:48 PM »
1. Sorry my Stupid English….http://www.freetranslation.com/ works not so good :-)

2.
Hi, I´m searching for a game I played in the year range 1987-1993 on my Amiga but don´t have a clue about Name, Publisher ect.

Lets go:

The game was a scrolling sideview platform shooter.
You are a small Soldier like a Lemming (Game from Psygnosis) or little smaller.
On the first level, which maybe was a jungle, you begin from right to left with a Machine Gun in your hand and shot the enemies which look like same as you. A funny thing was, if you shot with the machine gun, the torso of the little man goes a little back because of repulsion of the machine gun. You can.throw grenades too. It was funny to walk along and shot this little sprites away. No great graphic or sound. Just fun
I think, the enemies came out from dark corners or dark fields (maybe doors).
You shoot your way, up over some leader, on the top it goes to left, and then it goes down again. I think, I needed 10 min. to play the first Level.
The game looks a little like Benefactor or Persian Gulf Inferno or Alien Fish Finger,  but maybe the graphic quality was a bit lower and the sprites smaller…like Lemmings.
Benefactor: http://hol.abime.net/?id=92

I search on the database of http://hol.abime.net/ and posted this text on some Amiga and Commodore 64 Boards but only one guy remember that game but don´t know the name too

Here is a list of games, which I don´t mean:
After the War
Bio Menace
Bionic Commando
Benefactor
Combat Crazy
Commando
Cannon Fooder
Commando Lybia
Dogs of War
Enemy: Tempest Of Violence
Green Beret
Nord Sea Inferno,
Persian Gulf Inferno,
Rambo
The Final Mission
Who Dares Wins
Alien Fish Finger
Rolling Thunder

I make a little Picture of the beginning of the first level from the game:

In some strange way I think I've played it too :-)
Maybe I got the inspiration from your little drawing :-)

Anyway... I must admit that I can't remember the tilte too... :-(

But I've got some suggestions that's not on your list, It's been ages since I tried them so my memory is not quite good on these but here they are:

Midnight recistance
P.O.W.
Take'em out  
Turrican I/II
WALKER    

I'm not sure it's any of them but some of your discriptions maches some of the titles...

No, the Graphic was little better ;)
The Graphic was simple, but not bad....

Rolling Thunder - http://hol.abime.net/?id=1277 NO :(
TechnoCop - http://hol.abime.net/?id=1329 - No :(

In my game, the soldier goes the Guy´s in Rolling Thunder only to the knees.
Same size as a lemming (game from psygnosis)

Now, I've only seen a screenshot of the game once, but it reminds me of the Saddam Hussein game. Check HERE for an entry of the game.

The author sells them on Ebay once in a while.

I don´t think, that the game has a story about Saddam Hussein. But I can´t find any screenshot or the game itself on www.

That reminded me Cirith Ungol's motto:
"As you now join the swelling ranks of the legions of
chaos,
together we will drive before us the clinging herd of false metal,
crush their spineless lackeys and purge the world of their mutant plague..."

Try to find "Chaos Rising" from their "Paradise Lost" album. It rocks. BUT, try to get the studio version.

In my game, the man is much smaller, you don´t see a face,

And there are no driving oder flying stuff like helicopters oder cars..ect
