can't think of Amstrad 464 game?

[jengineer]

been thinking about an Amstrad 464 game I used play in my younger teens,

it was side scroller with graphics similar to Gryzor and Exolon,

in fact it's very similar to Exolon where you have an astronaut helmet on scrolling to the right, I'm sure you start off underground? climbing up and down ladders? or swinging and jumping up and down things trying to get further on in the game? with maybe a gun which shoots like Gryzor?

any ideas?

Trantor, the Last Stormtrooper?

Massive sprites and an impressive loading sequence IIRC!

no but very similar to that, I had to watch about a minute of it to decide it wasn't it

 

[pooman2084]

Game Over?

Game Over?

no not that

very similar to that Trantor game

maybe you had a jetpack on and you kind of hovered moving around? maybe not? I've looked at most of the jetpack games and it's not them

Sacred Armour of Antiriad? Just in case your memory is playing tricks and it doesn't scroll.

 

[pooman2084]

Oh I’d forgotten about Sacred Armour.

That was a fun game!

Very long shot, but not Astro Marine Corps?
Doesn't tick many of the boxes about, though.

 

[RedWizard]

Sacred Armour was the one I was thinking of.

How about Nodes of Yesod, or Marsport?

 

[jengineer]

no none of them

something just like Trantor but more of a Pitfall II type of game play

I tried searching for it last year but couldn't find it

Freddie hardest 1 or 2 ?

Freddie hardest 1 or 2 ?

sorry no, I am sure the character had a spacemens helmet on or some sort of spacemans backpack on? and there was a lot of climbing up and down stuff and jumping from ledges? like underground platforms? it's driving me mad lol

the only thing I can think of is I've got the spacemans helmet wrong? so I'm searching for the wrong thing,

it was definitely on the Amstrad because that's the only computer I had in my younger teens until about 15 when I got a Megadrive, also the lad next door had an Amstrad and he had the same game

 

[pooman2084]

I keep thinking Exile, but I’m pretty sure that never had a CPC version.

 

[jengineer]

I'm sure I'll come across in the next week, and it probably be nothing like I've described

If your bored one night Duncan wade through these.

Sounds a bit like the character in Zub.

H.E.R.O ? Only flying via jetpack though. No ladders I think.

no, I've started going through an Amstrad game list site and I've got to F so hopefully going to find it,

thanks everyone so far

from memory I think he might of had a gun? and it shot ball type things out? or maybe he had to dodge ball type things coming towards him, it's so vivid in my mind but at the same time so vague

same kind of graphics like Equinox and Exolon but a bod moving around lol
