Raid over ???Bay

[MYX]

I used to play a game (not user if it was on an apple or comadore64), but I believe you were flying a jet and you had to bomb ship ports n stuff. I remember the jet having a velocity reaction when you turned (in other words if you tried to turn it would take a little time for the plane to actually start to travel in the direction you turned in). I used to love the game, but can not remember what it was called. I actually woke up in bed the other night with something that thought the game was called. Raid over "something?" bay. Any ideas? / fellow players?

Bungling Bay if I recall correctly.

Saint's probably right... but the "raid" meme made me think of Atari 2600's River Raid

"the Dock of the"... an Otis Redding game.

I loved River Raid. Used to play that all the time.

There was an arcade version of Raid On Bungeling Bay and it's playable in MAME... but it's just not a very good game compared to the Commodore 64.

I still do.  River Raid 2 is also a great game.

Raid on Bungling Bay was also released on NES.

I play River Raid once in a while (Have it for Atari 2600 and XL/XE).  Also played Miner 2049 on ZX Spectrum more than 20 years ago on small b/w monitor (game loaded from tape).  That was fun.  Forgot the name for many years only to find it again few years back.

I played this game all the itme when I had my C64! I loved playing it. Don't know why. I picked up the NES one and it just sucked. Maybe cause I was older and it didn't feel like it did when I was a young punk.

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

Raid Over Moscow ROCKED!   If I remember right,  I want to say it had some voicework in the game as well...

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!

I think the physics of turning made it a fun fighter to control.

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.

You can use Google for a search like this one.  Searching for "raid over * bay", or even "raid * * bay" will return hits for "Raid over Bungling Bay".

The game was the first game made by Will Wright (creator of the Sims and Sim City).

"Developing Raid on Bungeling Bay inspired Will Wright to create SimCity. He was having more fun building the levels than destroying them in the game, and decided to make a game based on building cities because of it."

I remember playing this game for hours on the C64 back in the day.  Then I recently loaded it up in CCS64 and was sorely disappointed.

some things are better left as memories I guess ... :-/
