Trying to remember this game.

27 May 2010, 13:50

I'm trying to remember the name of a game so i can play it, but can't remember what it's called.

Basically you have a jetpack on, and you have to fly through a load of caves, some walls are stopping you from going down some passageways, but you have 6 dynamites you can use. i can't recall if you have bullets, but the game is very basic, and very addictive.
The red blocks are the dynamite which you drop by the walls, and then run away before the wall turns into rubble.

lol, thanks.... i can't seem to find the rom now though... could that have been an atari only game?

Not even for Atari ST. Have a look here : http://www.planetemu.net/?section=re...&rubrique=roms

No, H.E.R.O was released also for MSX, Amstrad CPC, ColecoVision, C64, ZX Spectrum, Apple II and 3 Atari machines.

Ok, so if this isn't the amiga game i'm thinking of, what is?
I know it's Amiga, as that's the only machine we had, and the drawing i done is pretty much how i remembered it, i thought H.E.R.O. was a bit zoomed in (if you know what i mean) - but obviously some minor details are missing from mine, like score lives (bullets - if there were any)...etc etc.
Ahh it's doing my head in.

Sounds like rick dangerouse minus the jet pack

TCD · 27 May 2010, 14:38

Nah, he would've mentioned 'frustrating' then

s2325 · 27 May 2010, 14:44

It's not jetpack, he has propeller

i love Rick Dangerous!!! - but it isn't that :P

Basically you can hover /fly around, blow up soft rock, some walls you may have to use 2 x dynamite, hit it once, and it turns the wall red, hit it again then it falls.
Can't remember if you could only fly for x amount of time before it re-generated or not, probably not.

I think there is no commercial game for Amiga similar to H.E.R.O but maybe it's some PD game.

Retroplay · 27 May 2010, 15:10

In the zone.

I've been speaking to my dad, and he thinks it's called 1981 (or something like that) i can't seem to find any game resembeling that title, but i do recall it was called seomthing like that, it was 1980something (gotta strong feeling about this)

Sorry to the mods for not looking before posting.

I should've put it here, not under retro.
I guess it's all retro
