[Found: S.OfLight] Sidescroller Turrican like game / first level in desert egypt-like
 

Hi again guys...

this is the next game. A sidescroller. It reminded me heavily of Turrican,
but it actually isnt. I started playing in the desert and encountered some "egypt-like" platforms with statue-heads firing at me.

I remember getting gun-upgrades so I could fire 3 paralell shots like this:

I think I could fire diagonal-upward. At the end of the desert-mission, i got to a space craft and could fly it in space too (sidescroller style).

It's my 2nd Thread... please help.

Hi Caballus,

Could it be Soldier of Light ?

Exactly; Soldier of Light :agree

...or better know in the arcades as Xain'd Sleena ;)

Omg its the game!!!! The music oh boy......... thank you guys!! So much! After so many years its strange to hear and see it again. Just one unkown game to go (my other thread with a ms-paint sketch).

Thank you again!!

@Caballus; you should really play the arcade version via MAME though.

Much better graphics, more levels etc. ;)

Another similar game (MAME only)

I've been trying to find the name of this arcade game for a while! Lucky I checked this thread! :D

hmm the palette on the screenshots on HOL seem kind of dark? Was this ported from the Atari and not had the colour palette adjusted??

Just my 2 cents..

Seems that way; much like most Dinamic releases and some certain other developers :sad

Sorry to say that, but that version is worse than original arcade version or C64 version.
