Carlucci Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I have a memory of playing an arcade game. It was a vertical scrolling commando type game. You were an army guy marching forward, and you had sandbags to hide behind. You had a machine gun, and I think you could lob grenades too. Eventually, you came to a fort, and the scrolling stopped while you battled a bunch of enemy that popped out of windows. I *think* you could play two-player simultaneous also. This is really all I remember. Let me know if this rings a bell. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failsafe Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Ikari Warriors was the first vertical scrolling game that popped into my mind. I'm probably mistaken tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I agree with Failsafe, the shooting plus grenades sounds a LOT like Ikari Warriors to me. My other guess beyond that would be Guerilla War, which had similar premiseness. Both had two-player co-op as well. Ooh, I think Guerilla War may have been an NES cart only. KLOV doesn't seem to have it listed at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I don't know if Ikari Warriors is the game you asking about, but here's a screen shot to jog your memory,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Hmm, no I don't think it was either of these. It was definitely a US arcade game. I remember spending many quarters on this game. Based on the screen shots of Ikari Warriors, it looks very similar, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't it. It had more of a US commando-type theme. Maybe against the Russians or Nazis. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Guess what, I just found it. It was called, of all things, Commando. Here's the KLOV Description Looks like it was a Data East release, so I doubt it has ever appeared on any compilation or console. Carlos.
