Hey guys,
I'm obsessed at the moment looking for a really old game which I played once or twice when I was young. I played that game at my friend's house. I really liked that game, but my EVIL friend wanted to play Ice Climber. Since it was his home, I had to play that game which I did not liked that much. I wanted to ask for a cassette some time later, but my smooth kid's brain forgot all about it. I have few memories to go by and I searched through half the library of old NES games screenshot by screenshot. It seems to be so obscure to the point that I'm afraid that I might be crazy and had imagined it. I hope that good people here might help to prove me that I'm not crazy after all.
So, there are very few details about this game. I know one thing for sure. In this game you can summon allies which would help you fight. Back then I was blown away by this technical marvel, because NPC allies were simply unimaginable. You were fighting NPCs, how one of them could help you? This is something which blew my mind away back then and I remember that most clearly.
- There are other things, we played on NES console, but my friend is not sure if that was the only thing he had back then.
- I remember game having a poor graphics even back then. It is more like old Atari 2600 games. I seem to recall a lot of black and white, not much colour if any.
- I remember it being a top down game, you would start game from a bottom. Not sure about mobility in that game.
- Game had a military vibe. Like Battle City, you controlled some sort of tank. I can't recall really.
- I think that there was some point system to summon those allies.
- You might had fought enemies in stages. It was more like an arena shooter, no story which I can recall, just going from stage to stage.
I had named clues by how sure I remember them. If anyone had seen my needle, please report back to me. I will appreciate a chance to try that game out again and ruin all my fond memories of it. Maybe next we could guess that super cool mech game which I played on arcades too!
