Title: Need help remembering a game title!!
Post by: Sleeq on August 27, 2012, 07:15:43 AM
I've been looking for pictures or videos but I cannot remember the name of the game at all!

The idea was you are a team of three soldiers, each having a certain skill (demolitions, assault etc) and you had to go room to room and kill bad guys and stuff.

I wish I had more information but that's all I got!

Thanks dudes!

If it was RPG style with great music, and ability to play 4 on one Amiga, must be Hired Guns

Please don't die, hang around and create more game threads. What's Amiga without those sweet games created by passionate and/or (initially) hobby programmers ? I've rarely visited AO lately due to this.

I've got one I can't remember: A solitary figure, like a Commando or Rambo type character running around in fatigues (?) on an almost empty, military style map, shooting up bad guys.

The animation style was almost like a cartoon, and the figures rather small, I would say smaller than Turrican.

I would play this game for hours back in the day, even though I uh, didn't really like it all that much!

It had some type of title reminiscent of the words 'Commando' or 'Rambo', but I cannot for the life of me remember it!

Sorry, no, that's not quite it. Its been driving me nuts all these years - it had the most maddening and insistent little soundtrack. I really hated that game, but I just couldn't stop playing it, lol!

I'm looking at some screenshots of different Amiga military-style games, and its starting to look like it was actually a game called Rambo...

The screenshots I'm looking at for the Rambo game look like top-down. I think this is it, but I'd need to hear the maddening music to be sure! :)

Dogs of war, Mercs, Ikari Warriors, Warzone, Commando or Total Carnage I guess then.
 Maddening music? Then surley it's Dogs of war or Ikari warriors

Wow, the Commando and Rambo games look so much alike! I guess I'll just have to dig up a soundtrack snippet to see when one makes me grind my teeth, lol!

"top-down" aka bird's-eye view ? (edit: I suppose I should've actually asked Dr.Bongo)

I don't recall having played many top-down view games. I remember Rambo III, It Came from the Desert, Cannon Fodder, Chaos Engine, and... ? There are probably a few more but I don't remember right now.

Hi mate here is a link to the music

http://www.recordedamigagames.org/modules/music/index.php?min=50&list=R&orderby=titleA

and here is a link to the video - loads on you tube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGKaMIiIQwE

info on game

http://hol.abime.net/1195

I hope this helps, & yes I played this game quite a lot but never completed it, still got this and loads of other Amiga games (most original & some pirate copies).

PS I think I need a tardis to go back to the mid eighties and nineties.

Great fun.
