(Yet Another) an you help me find this game?

(1/4) > >>

Teebor:

I went cruising through a large portion of the games in mame the other day (about 3 hours or more) trying to find yet another game that I had played as a kid.  I think I must have missed it somehow.

The game was two player one after the other

The game was a scrolling shoot em up, vertical.

You would fly over base like structures below whilst blasting stuff (hows that for a vague description :) )

I distinctly remember when you picked up some power ups that you could get bolt on that appeared on the side of your ship.

Player two had to play downwards on the screen whereas player one played upwards.

The big think I remember is that at the end of one level there was a head like boss who you had to shoot in the mouth with a projectile bomb launcher when he opened it.

The reason I think I am having trouble locating this one in particular is because I played it when I was in spain (and almost twenty years ago) so even if I could remember then name it probably wasnt in english :)


Hope someone can help me find this one, especially as you did fantastically at finding that other game for me last time.  You guys must have some encyclopedic knowledge

SirPoonga:
Wow, that sound slike almost every vertical shooter out there?

What orientation was the monitor?

Teebor:
Yeah I know sorry. 

being about 10 at the time I cant remember all that much about it.

I know the big head that opens its mouth and you have to shoot it with a weapon that specifically flies in to the air and back down again (like a bomb) is the key to finding it again.

It was definetely a vertical shooter so best guess would be that the monitor was rotated.

The machine was an upright.

Oh yeah it was top down not side on.

SirPoonga:
One thing you could do it grab catver.ini and start going through the shooters.

I don't know the game but that line would seem to be important.  I've never seen a game like that before.
