Title: Trying to remember the name of a game
Post by: yaksplat on November 08, 2011, 12:47:20 pm

In the cutscene the 'heroes' would all run up a staircase to the next level.  I think the game was in a castle and the characters had to get to a specific floor.  I remember just dozens of floors...  I played a lot of black tiger at the same relative time.

That ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks!

Yes, that's it!

Thanks. I can now stop digging through roms.

here's another one that my brother in law is trying to figure out:

bad guy running frm cop through tunnels stealing bags of gold
it was a 2D game setup - similar to all other games in the late 80s - layers of "floors" like donkey kong or burgertime or etc
he could ride on a coal car sometimes and could reach up and hang from a light in the tunnel while to cop would run by

Dead on!  :applaud:

I think i'll just start making up themes of games that sound interesting and see what you come up with.  ;D

I didn't know you could do that.  Sounds like I need to give it another try!

He is however a master woodworker, on the show and in real life.
