Title: Search for a platform shooter like Lemmings or Benefactor
Post by: 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:

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

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

Reminds me somewhat of "Rolling Thunder".

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 (http://hol.abime.net/?id=4213) 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.

One other game I can think of is Damage.  Taking control of an insane idividual you go around with various guns, climbing buildings shooting old ladies, whacking school kids with bats and chainsawing old men.  Eventually taking on the police mafier and the army. This was made up small gfx also.

I know Damage, but it´s not the game I looking for....
It´s look like the game I mean.
In my game there are no old lady´s, school kids, old mans ect. There are only little soldiers. And they are a little more smaller then the guy in damage :)
And there are no buldings in my game.
And you must play from right to left, not left to right.

I buy enough games for my good old amiga, but in the year 1988-1994,  in the city where I live in Austria, there where only 2 games-stores and they sell only a few games.
So don´t think, I was only a little lamer ;)

I have found a game called Warbringer(CombatCrazy) which look a little similar to the game I mean.
In my game, the people are more littler and not so details. Like Lemmings...
I have make a screenshot and put it on my page:
