Help me find two arcade games from my childhood
« on: September 28, 2012, 10:12:57 pm »
Hello

I'm looking for two arcade games that i played many years ago, can't find
them nowhere searching internet... No much i remember but i try describe as i
can.

First game

It was cabinet sidescroller swing slasher action game slightly like
castlevania, first level was played on egyptian theme going to the right
direction, haracter have some kind of stick or something and swinging it.
Enemies on that level where skeletons and boos was huge skeleton. Second
level was in pyramide or something there was rope or pipe to go down, there
was fight with snake as boos if im remember right... i played this few times
only about 15 years ago so not remember lot.
Years of creating i guese 88-93

Second

Game was similar to Rygar or Astyanax with some kind of buffer power strike if you hold down button, no much else i remember cause i played it once mostly watched as other people played it. Years i guesse 88-93 too.

Sorry for my english ;)

For the first game, try "Big Karnak". Coincidentally, I played it the night before you posted for the first time in MAME, and your description sounds exactly like what I played.

Bad Dudes? aka Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja ?  That's the only game I can think of that you hold the button down for a power attack (flame punch)
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Ghouls n' Ghosts? When you have the golden suit of armor and the knife weapon, you can get the "mirror man" that mimics your moves.

No, Bad dudes and Ghouls'n Ghosts isn't it. Not sure but hero in that game had something like ninja style... That mirror image (shadow of him) goes to the left and right, not remember if it was attack or power buff only. But thanks for proposition.

Naw, Ninja Spirit is quite good. From some of the same folks that went on to make Metal Slug, I believe, and it is far more a run and gun than a brawler (which the ninja name might imply). Can't speak for Big Karnak, though.

Tech had some terrible taste as a kid.

It was not taste, i played what was avalible at that time ; )
Ninja Spirit nor Shinobi isn't that game.
Graphically that was close to Astyanax with that exception of haracter he was no barbarian but more like ninja sort ; ) Charge bar was simillar too, but have three phases to max load I guess... I have very foggy image of that game from now ;/

Was it Ninja Combat?  (neo-geo title)


The only game I can think between those years, with Ninja's and a charge up ability.

Searched it for hours and not found too. Maybe it was among not working roms or there is no dump of that game... ; )
Thanks for all help.

Sengoku? I don't think you need to hold the button to power up but everything else seems close. If not, play it anyway.
