Looking desperately for the Name of Vintage Game, please Help
#286760 - 05/17/12 05:42 PM




In the middle of the 80´ there was a game in a Cinema near my place.

It was quite looking like Galaga

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_lE_L0UtkQ

but did not appear as cheap.

The spaceship was quite looking the same. It was a 2 button game, one one button was for the the 2 wing cannons that fired the left and right cannon at the same time but only one shot per press of the button.

The second button was a machinegun placed in the center/top of the spaceship.

The Alien-Ships also came inline (like a chain) but was was rotating on there own axis. The biggest difference to Galaga was that the Alien-Ships did not stick on top of the screen ( I think so). When I watched the elders playing they aimed the first Alienship with the machine-cannon and all the following ships rushed into the fire. Another difference to Galaga was that you was flying over a planet surface and I am quite sure that there have been signs on the planet that said Coleco, at least thats what my memories tell me. And the first planet was green I think.

Does this ring a bell in anyones head???

Thanks guys

hmmmm... could it be Terra Cresta or Moon Cresta. Don't know about the Coleco signs though. This is an arcade game,correct?



I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

It says "Jaleco" which is the name of the company that made the game.

That don't remotely look, or play, like Galaga. It looks like someone got a really bad idea from Buck Rogers, which was already a bad idea.



Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.

You should think of Exerion or Buck Rogers like today is early '80 , then You will realise that any "3D" attempt is a little revolution in gaming.
