Title: help remembering an arcade shmup?
Post by: shateredsoul on May 22, 2010, 09:41:17 pm

I remember as a kid playing a side scrolling (horizontal) shooter.  2 players could play, it was in a dinosaur world.. anyone have any idea what game this may be? I think the planes were red and blue (for player 2).  I think the airplanes looked something like this

Blimey! I remember playing that too. One of those games I had forgotten all about. Will be firing that up in MAME at some point this week :D

I wonder how many other games I like have been forgotten :S

Ha ha yeah, it's crazy when you hear the noises for the first time and you have the "i remember that sound effect!" feeling

was playing number 2 on my cab last night because i saw it on here. What a great game.

Ghost pilots aswell is a bit of a forgotten gem for me aswell. and another vertical screen horizontal shooter but a space one (i know could be anything) we had in our youth club, i wish i could remeber what it was called. it was deffinately jamma because it was in one of those generic jamma cabs.

solid,

I saw this on e-bay last week for $50, but was outbid by $1.   :banghead:

Great game!
