Pages: 1 SA Dev Lurker Reged: 01/13/04 Posts: 136 Send PM Can anyone suggest what game I remember... #265435 - 10/01/11 04:56 AM Reply Hi, I used to play a game at a cafeteria on military base in Japan from 1981-1983, but I don't remember its name. I do recall they had a Pengo, Zaxxon, and some others around it. I believe it had a 3d type scrolling background, like it was done in layers and the layers would get closer to each other as they came at you or moved faster. I somewhat recall a transition between two modes of play where the players ship would roll over or something. Does anyone remember a game like this from this time? Any ideas of what it might be?

It wasn't a vector, but a good guess I agree! Any other ideas? Thanks, Alan Sune Connected Reged: 09/21/03 Posts: 5648 Loc: Lagoa Santa, Brasil Send PM Re: Can anyone suggest what game I remember...

Mirax does look like the scrolling I remember, but I'm not sure it is the game I'm thinking of. Something like a cross between exerion and mirax. I was 12 at the time so perhaps my memory is at fault too... Thanks, Alan hap Reged: 12/01/08 Posts: 296 Send PM Re: Can anyone suggest what game I remember... [Re: SA Dev] #265451 - 10/01/11 05:59 PM Reply You're sure it's not Buck Rogers or Zoom 909 then? or, maybe it's Ambush SA Dev Lurker Reged: 01/13/04 Posts: 136 Send PM Re: Can anyone suggest what game I remember... [Re: hap] #266415 - 10/15/11 03:36 AM Reply Hi, > You're sure it's not Buck Rogers or Zoom 909 then? > or, maybe it's Ambush I've checked all the suggestions and many of them are sure close to my description, but not what I'm thinking of. One other thing I remember is that the ship you were flying did some sort of 180 degree flip over as it was transitioning from one stage to the next - does that give any new ideas? Maybe I'm just not remembering it right though... Thanks, Alan Pages: 1
