Aargh! What game is that?
« on: October 09, 2007, 07:38:27 AM »
Here's a puzzler thats bugged me on and off for a few years.

Back in 89-90 a friend had a game on his A500 that we used to play quite a lot.  It was a shoot 'em up, 3/4 above view, like  Chaos Engine or Alien Breed except the scrolling was limited to vertical only not 8 way.

The sprites were really small like 16x16 pixels yet very detailed (from memory).

In the first level, you walked around a city with a gun and shot thughs, you could upgrade your pistol to shotguns and flamethrowers.

One thing I remember clearly (oddly) is that garbage bins had flies buzzing around the tops.

Its not Syndicate, think earlier...

Does this description jump out at anyone?
