Title: Name the game (if you can)
Post by: UncleMame on May 25, 2011, 09:51:06 pm: This one may be tough, because there is very little I remember about the specifics of the game. It was a fighting game(similar to MK) that my wife and I used to play when we were in college - this would make it around early 1990s. All I can remember was that we both always laughed at one of the characters, because she was in an all black outfit(which was a thong in the back and had high heels, I think) - She looked like a dominatrix and we always used to joke that this was the character's secret power - Ability to distract the opponent :laugh: It had a variant of fatality moves and was around during the era of MKII. I think it may have been a NEO GEO game or perhaps SNK, but the memory is foggy. I am nearly positive it is not any of the Soul Calibur games and am sure it was not any of the SF games.

If I could only remember the characters name, I could figure out the game.

Post by: UncleMame on May 26, 2011, 08:30:56 am: Neither of these were it (but pagan was the closest to the look of the character) - The outfit was completely black(no pattern). But I am impressed that anyone knew a character that came that close to it. Its so annoying when you just can't remember the game.

Post by: Malenko on May 26, 2011, 04:53:24 pm: 2D or 3D?

that'd help narrow it down a bit. I thought Pagan by your description too

Galaxy Fight?

Isn't that Schwartzenegger's baby mama?
Title: Re: Name the game (if you can)
Post by: UncleMame on May 27, 2011, 10:01:32 am: It was a 3-D type ("real peron"), not a graphics character. Pagan came real close, but just not all "Sindel-ed"(MK). I knew it was going to be a tough one. Unless there was another fighter with Pagan in it where she wasn't all "vamped-out".

I guess I didn't realize that thongs were all the rage in the fighters back then, but then again there was Cammy.......

I thought it was a great game when I was a kid.
As an adult, it was one of the first games I fired up in MAME.
The nostalgia wore off after about 10 seconds and I realized that it was crap.

Tattoo Assassins..? Can you remember any of the finishing moves or what the backgrounds/levels looked like?

Post by: Corbo on June 02, 2011, 03:15:15 am: Ivy Valentine in Soul Calibur? or Psylocke from one of the Marvel games (http://www.ugo.com/games/psylocke (http://www.ugo.com/games/psylocke))

Googling this for you has been a real chore :p
Title: Re: Name the game (if you can)
Post by: Donkbaca on June 02, 2011, 11:50:02 am: I don't think tattoo assasins was ever officially released (thank goodness)
Title: Re: Name the game (if you can)
Post by: UncleMame on June 02, 2011, 07:49:07 pm: Nah, neither Ivy or tatoo assasins is it......Sadly though, the chick from tattoo assasins was close in terms of how she looked(less vamped out than the chick from Wargods).

I definately Googled this one prior to posting......It's had to find anything with keywords like "Thong" "tall blonde" and "video game" that doesn't link to a completely different site (mainly porn), go figure.......... :laugh: I'm waiting to find out that this is going to be some revision of a game like WarGods, and that's why the chick looked different.

Post by: Donkbaca on June 02, 2011, 07:54:58 pm: how many buttons? That would be a good start
Title: Re: Name the game (if you can)
Post by: UncleMame on June 02, 2011, 08:03:47 pm: Ya know Donk, I'd love to remember how many..... but either 3 or 6(most likely six). We're talking 20 years ago since I played the game. Can't remember the name of the game, the character's name or the button layout, but a tall blond dominatrix in a thong......instant memory recall.....LOL :o
