Title: Name that game...
Post by: daeven on December 17, 2003, 12:53:17 pm: I'm looking for the name of a game for a friend of mine. His description:

"It was a game where you collected parts to your ship while shooting things.

Post by: Trenchbroom on December 17, 2003, 11:31:05 pm: Yeah probably Slapfight (known as Alcon in the U.S.).

alcon has two buttons (one to select powerup) and you don't turn into a pheonix...

But its a great game anyway and everyone should play it.

(quick note... don't touch your joystick / buttons after starting. when the first guy kills you you come back with full power and homing missiles.... Fun if you cant get that far without suicide.

Except that Terra Cresta has two buttons.

Post by: ErikRuud on December 18, 2003, 02:06:41 pm: yes, there was a game called Phoenix and a sequal called Son of Phoenix. But they do not fit this description.

Post by: daeven on December 18, 2003, 02:45:55 pm: ErikRuud got it - it was Terra Cresta! Thanks for the help. He went through the whole list of MAME games and still didn't spot it - must have glossed over it too quickly.

Thanks!
