[BOO!] ST game - Metrocross (Was:name that game?)

18 September 2002, 23:48

Hi all - anyone remember this game?

theres a guy on a skateboard, the view scrolls sideways from the left to the right and the guy on the skateboard has to dodge things coming from the right - I don't remember if it was on the ST or the Amiga.... I think it was by mastertronic?

Any Ideas???

thanks for the reply - but nope not that.... it could have been by microdeal? - the layout of the screen was kind of 3d (isometric) with a chequered background...

and had to swerve around blocks and things and jump big pipes....

I think it was a fairly old game - maybe 1988?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm????

I *think* I got it.
Professional Skateboard Simulator by Codemasters, 1988.
I only know it for the C64, though. I never owned an Atari, nor do I know if this game was ever released on the Amiga.

Other candidates (C64, too):
- Skate Rock (Bubble Bus)
- 720° (US Gold)

Hmm

Could it be Skid Z ?

You can control a guy riding a bike or a skateboard, and have to collect litter in a limited time, while avoiding obstacles in the course. You could also compete in a race.

Here's a screen...

... metro cross ?

RCK · 19 September 2002, 11:31

yes, I also think about metro-cross, only on AtariST:

Steve · 19 September 2002, 11:58

What about Back to The Future 2. Ok so it's a hover board but it's still the same. Sort of.

alkis21 · 19 September 2002, 12:49

Skidz was my guess too.

Drake1009 · 19 September 2002, 13:04

Then there was Akira, all over the screen avoiding things, oh wait, no skateboard

19 September 2002, 13:17

METRO CROSS!!!!!

yeah - that was it :-D Cheers guys - that's been bugging me for days.....

you reckon it was never on the amiga though? :-(

19 September 2002, 13:25

Well, you can always play the arcade version.

andreas · 19 September 2002, 13:27

Not *only*.
Metro Cross is also available on the C64!

And on the ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC

andreas · 19 September 2002, 13:53

Spectrum? Did this computer ever exist?
I only remember a beta version of this thing leaking out into the public

alkis21 · 23 September 2002, 09:25

Metrco cross had fantastic music, quite catchy even on C64.

Your are not a REAL retro-freak, are you

andreas · 23 September 2002, 12:30

actually I am, but with some restraints

This game looks a lot like Ale-Hop , an MSX/Spectrum game from Topo Soft.
