Mega Phoenix?

er1k · 09 March 2016, 13:43

No, it wasn't Mega Phoenix :/ But huge thanks to everyone here so far, I'm really glad that you have been willing to help. Of course if the game that I'm looking for was a public domain game (I wouldn't have known that back then when I played it), it can be really difficult to find s:

Heavy metal heroes?

er1k · 10 March 2016, 17:36

No, sorry s: It must have been something pretty rare I suppose.

Insanity fight?

er1k · 14 March 2016, 23:47

Not that one either s:

Motorola Invaders? (http://hol.abime.net/192) (though it doesn't scroll)

Hi er1k,

Also have a look here http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list...ace%20Invaders

or search the via google images eg amiga vertical shoot em up

alexh · 15 March 2016, 08:05

Can you remember if the background was simple black or did it have graphics?

Did it vertically scroll?

Was it simultaneous two player? Cooperative?

Could the ship(s) move around the screen or was it a fixed position?

Anything which you felt was a distinguishing feature?

Great music on the intro? Or while playing? No music, just sound fx?

er1k · 16 March 2016, 16:54

Sorry, it wasn't Motorola Invaders s: And I didn't find it here: http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list...ace%20Invaders

I think that the background of the game was just simply black or at least it was like that most of the time. It's also possible that it could have been played in a cooperative way by 2 players, but I'm not sure because we never tried that.
I'm pretty sure though that it was indeed a vertical scroller and that the ship could be moved around the screen. Too bad that I don't really remember anything about the music, but I don't think it was anything very special or great

I also don't remember any very distinguishable features...most of my (pretty blurry) memories of this game are focused around the intense firerate of your ship's guns and how the enemies were sometimes wildly blinking in different colors s:

Sidewinder II?

er1k · 17 March 2016, 14:09

Nope, still not the right one :c

alexh · 17 March 2016, 16:02

Deluxe Galaga? That has done scrolling bits

Steve · 17 March 2016, 16:15

Could be XP8 maybe? http://hol.abime.net/1613

Though this was late in the Amiga's commercial life. Came out in 1996.

Can you be a little bit more precise about the year you played it? Early 90's, mid 90's, late 80's etc.

DamienD · 17 March 2016, 16:43

Maybe Galaga '92? http://hol.abime.net/4199

er1k · 18 March 2016, 23:40

Sorry, still haven't seen the right one here s: I don't remember the year exactly, but I don't think that it would really help much in this case, because me and my brother got Amiga (with a huge set of games) as a hand-me-down from our cousins and the year must have been at least '97 or '98.

Amiga1992 · 19 March 2016, 00:25

I more and more wonder if your recollection of this is correct, perhaps it wasn't at all an Amiga. It'd be hard to tell :/
What's your brother's input on this? he could help.

er1k · 20 March 2016, 14:28

I'm starting to doubt my recollection as well /: But I'm still fairly certain that I would have recognized the game right when I would have come across it here. My brother couldn't recall anykind of space shooter game though, when I asked him s:
