what game am i describing?

[b1llygo4t]

it was a top down vertical shooter for the snes or maybe ps1. you chose either a tank or a helicopter. you could play single player with two controllers, using half of each in each hand.

Is it Firepower 2000 by Sunsoft?

 

[trapef]

Is it Super SWIV on the Snes?

 

[Gerix]

Lol, I was thinking about asking this question as well. Someone posted the box art for SWIV in the Amiga board, which I remember seeing on my brother's copy of Firepower 2000.

 

[ledow]

Silkworm, the predecessor of SWIV?

 

[GunPei2X]

I'd say Trapef and Levi are both correct. Firepower 2000 was the US version of Super SWIV, and it certainly sounds like that - although it was a jeep not a tank.

 

[b1llygo4t]

totally firepower 2000 - thanks fellas!

Silkworm was a side scroll shooter IIRC?

you know we could make a pretty fun fourm game out of describing games and seeing who can figure out what it is

It's like chess, but when the pieces meet they have a player controlled battle. Each piece has different abilities.


Name that game!

Archon? Seem to remember a few like that, but Archon is the earliest I know of.

 

[WizardStan]

Aye, that's the one! Thanks mate! This is the third time I've been reminded what it was called. Maybe this time it'll stick

'Tis a fun game. That reminds me that I need to find a new PSU and see if I can revive my C64.

Why not just get a small portable hand-held device and emulate?


Now I'm pretty sure I had a link to a good site about here somewhere?
