Name the game
« on: March 09, 2007, 03:42:41 PM »
I'm trying to remember the name of a game I used to like playing. IIRC it opened in a window on Workbench and you controlled a little helicopter which could fire forwards and down. A terrain was (randomly?) created, sometimes with cliffs, sometimes with ceilings, sometimes both, sometimes tunnels to squeeze through. There were also cannons which fired up, and you could shoot the tops off them to destroy them. I seem to remember that all of the graphics were red.

Does anyone remember the name of this game? I seem to remember somethingabout "Raid", but I couldn't find anything by Googling this or on Aminet.

No that's not it. It was side-scrolling. It scrolled automatically, and all the graphics were all red, or maybe green, and much more simple than that. Obviously not Raid then :-)

@amiga_3k
Yes I think it did come on a coverdisk. I remember playing it on WB1.3 in a small window, and yes it might have been the Workbench orange colour.

@castellen
No it wasn't that :-(

Yes very similar to that, but ISTR that the graphics were even less detailed, and it definitely ran in a window.

Just a *bump* - really hoping someone can help me remember the name of this game! It might have come on CU Amiga's "21 Games" collection but I can't find a copy anywhere. Has anyone got it?

Well it's not on 21 Games. It was definitely a Workbench game. Is there a list of Workbench games anywhere?

Hi melange

I think that might be it! I recognise the huge blue icon. Sadly it doesn't seem to run properly under 3.9 :-(

Oh wait it does work, you have to open it on a 15KHz screen (rather than a CGX/P96 one) then it works. And it is the game I was trying to find. Thanks a lot!!!!! :-D :-D :-D

Not sure why I remember the landscape being red and the helicopter shooting down and across at the same time. Maybe I'm confusing it with a different game.

Anyway, thanks a lot! :-D

What did you Google for? I tried but couldn't find it. Just wondering what you thought of searching for and I didn't :-)
