[Found: Cybernoid] Please help finding the game

18 February 2009, 08:47

Looked through all of lemonamiga's arcade/shoot'em-up section but couldn't find this game I used to play around 1990.

- Armalyte and ilyad were the closest thing I could find on lemonamiga but it wasn't THAT kind of a side-scroller, because it didnt scroll automatically and you could leave the screen in ANY direction (if there was a passway)
- It's not an actioner, things didn't move so fast
- The spaceship you control is really small, like in Armalyte ... I believe it was red and it had kind of a glass bowl on the front side
- It had much brighter graphics (as in superfrog)
- It had no background music, only a few bullet sounds here and there, kinda quiet
- I also remember you could sometimes land on a platform (for refuel or something?)

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Hi weasel,

maybe you can find it with this filter in HOL : http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?N_ref_category=25

Thanks. it's not in there but I found another good game from these days that I hardly remembered (Garrison).

Anyways, one more clue about the game I'm looking for:

- You look at the spaceship from left or right side (not from top). When landing on a platform you see the front side

Regards,

~weasel~

It sounds a lot like Parallax on the C64. Are you sure this is an Amiga game?

Sounds similar to some of the sections in Awesome:

Thank you for the help but it's neither of them.

As I said, it's the same perspective as Armalyte and the spaceship also looks pretty much the same (but red), it just had MUCH more stuff on the screen, but not so much enemies, it didn't scroll by itself and it had superfrog'ish bright colors, no bg music and hardly any sounds.

It was more of an "exploration" game than an actioner.

gravity force or something similar maybe?

A lot of games with red ships and colourful graphics I'm afraid

@skateblind: The graphics were not THAT simple

Oh and I've already looked through all of that category but couldn't find it. Thanks.

It could mean that it is in the Shoot-'em-up | Horizontal category (168 entries) and not the multidirectional category.

Sounds like Cybernoid 1 or 2 to me.

Ooooh yeah. You heard the weasel.

To be honest I didn't think of any other games, your description was pretty good!
