There were at least two "Raid over ..." games for the C64 1. Raid over Moscow: This game was complex and very involved. It had action scenes that were Zaxxon-like as well as scenes that were DiscOfTron-like as well as a few other other scenes. In the Zaxxon-esque scenes, the fighter-bomber aircraft had momentum of which you speak in an isometric type view. 2. Raid over Bungling Bay: This game had you flying a helicopter off of an aircraft carrier. You flew around the sea in and amongst a series of islands. The view was top down and the helicopter didn't really have any momentum. If you are interested in either of these games I suggest you check out the great C64 emu VICE at http://www.viceteam.org/ Also check out an original C64 hacker group that STILL exists!! http://www.bitte8bit.de/newremember/htdocs/news.php See screen shots below (6 of Raid over Moscow, 1 of Raid over Bungling Bay): |

Raid Over Moscow ROCKED! If I remember right, I want to say it had some voicework in the game as well... |
| MYX:
River Raid Rocked. I used to play that for hours at the kid across the streets house. (We wern't allowed to have one. :-[) Yup bungling bay is it. I thought it was a jet. Funny. For what ever reason I remember it looking slicker than that, but after seeing it that is it. Thanks! --- Quote from: jsw2068 on October 27, 2006, 01:12:40 pm ---I played this game all the itme when I had my C64! I loved playing it. Don't know why. --- End quote --- I think the physics of turning made it a fun fighter to control. |
| TOK:
Raid on Bungling Bay and Raid Over Moscow are not related. Bungling Bay was by Electronic Arts, Raid Over Moscow was by Access. They also made a great multi-level game called Beach Head. The name was reincarnated for a budget title on the PC a few years ago, but it was just a basic mouse point-and-click shooter. |

I have to throw in my 2 cents, that ROBB was a great game. The Helicopter control was very well done. Another one in this theme we're discussing is Blue Max. |
