I'm looking for a specific game but I can't remeber the name.

You work at a bank.
At the screen you see three doors. The doors are opened frequently and in steps people who want to put money into their account at the bank
Now your task is to shoot any robber that shows up behind one of the three doors.

Does anyone remember this game and what the name is??

I remember playing this game as an arcade machine by Sega. I don't know if it was ever ported to Amiga...

On Amiga it's gotta be "Gunshoot" (c)1988 by Micropartner:

Wow, Dpainter, you just made a synapse fire inside my head that hasn't been used in years and now I remember the phrase,

"You lost your Brayn!"

Good work! But I wonder what I had to forget so I could remember that? Hmm. Damn it.

The game was converted to the C64 too under the name West bank.

Would be most thankful if you could share a copy of it on the zone asap...

Good work! But I wonder what I had to forget so I could remember that? Hmm. Damn it. Don't you just love digital nostalgia? I mean, try finding that arcade you went to back in 1985. It's gone. But you can sit at home and fire up perfect digital memories. Do you ever wonder which is the real world?
Your old favorite arcade is today probably the adult diaper section of the newest Walmart. But some game you played back in 1988 is perfectly preserved (well, thanks to fans, most of them are) and just sitting there waiting to be resurrected. Digital memories are the most faithful, most secure ones most of us have.

I'd sign this in binary if I had a translator handy.:laughing

Here's an idea for the future: when computers are fast enough for this, you could download skins for MAME that wrap around the game...but not with just the cabinet scanned! How about wrapping the game in video/audio of arcade stuff! Other players, the sounds of the arcade room, the lighting, etc. It sounds far-fetched, but I'd want this. And a video headset to go with that so that I can obscure the actual room I am in, and instead be in a virtual arcade room (since most of these things no longer exist).
