Title: Can someone confirm / deny... was Nebulus an arcade game?
Post by: Anubis_au on January 27, 2008, 02:08:49 am
Nebulus is in my mind as a game I used to play, but I can't be sure if it was on C64 / Amiga / arcade?

Can someone confirm / deny this was an arcade game? (hence, MAME rom...or not)

I don't know about Arcade, but I certainly played an outstanding Amiga version.

I played Nebulus a LOT on my Atari ST.

As far as I know it was not an arcade game. It's great to play on a Mame cab though !

Not to add any more confusion about this, but something popped up in memory when I saw the screen shots of the game. On top of that i was thinking of "this" game a few years ago and remembered it being on an arcade machine. The problem was that instead of you being some frog looking thing, you were a person in the arcade machine I played. The only reason why this stuck out in my memory was the "rotating tower" aspect of it, which at the time I played it was very 3D. Maybe someone made a limited release of a game similar to Nebulus for the Arcade (IE pong clone kinda concept)

Or maybe my mangled memory is mixing things up, maybe I played ghosts and goblins (which if memory serves me correctly had a rotating tower sequence to it as well...)

Hey you're right, how the heck did I mess that up?  I was even at the correct page?  Bad mouse pointer, BAD!  Thanks for the fix.

Tower Toppler! I remember drooling over this game in an issue of the Atarian only to learn it was never released. Didn't realize it was released on other platforms :)
