Guess that Game!

[12thgear]

No idea. From the colors I can only suppose it's some sort of ZX Spectrum game?

 

[axletramp]

Yep. Consider that a clue.

 

[12thgear]

Hacker or Hacker 2?

 

[axletramp]

Nope. This is the map for the game.

Need help remembering the name of a game. It was kind of like the game One on the PS1 but don't know if that was it or not. The one thing I remember the most is that there was the begining of a level where you were standing in the middle of a city park. All these guys come at you and you blow them away with your machine guns, and while that is going on there is this big billboard on the side of a building and it starts paying either a clutch video, or system of a down, or one of a few other bands. When this game came out it was well before either of those bands were popular and i had never heard of either of them.

We use to just play that level over and over and watch the videos. It rotated between maybe 3 or 4 bands each time you started that mission. That game had by far the best music ever in a game. When system of a down and clutch came out I knew that I had heard them both before but couldn't figure out where until i went back to show that game to someone and how cool that mission was.

I'm trying to figure it out so I can try and find it online for sale. i think Bruce willis might have even been that main character in the game. I've tried searching online but I'm not the greatest with a search engine.

I found it, it was Apocalypse. I text a buddy that remembers everything. i was surprised he remembered that though. That game had the best soundtrack ever.

Thanks for that. I think you may have mistaken what this thread is for.

Anyway, next clue as we have no takers. Released in 1985.

 

[axletramp]

It's been 24 hours, so here's another clue: Firebird.

Thought there'd be more ZX Speccy fans here.

Could you change the image link as Shem and me can't see it yet....

 

[axletramp]

Updated link for the people in the bleak wastelands of the East.

 

[axletramp]

OK, here's another screen shot:

Should make it easier.

 

[W3H5]

Tron?

 

[axletramp]

No, but it rhymes with it.

 

[mika haka]

edit: nah never mind

 

[Submerged]

Gone?

 

[axletramp]

Nope.

 

[axletramp]

OK, no takers. Just a recap to keep things going:

1) It's a ZX Spectrum game
2) It was released in 1985
3) It was published by Firebird
4) It has a map
5) It's name rhymes with 'tron'

and a new one:
6) It involves lots of large balls.

axletramp, hmm, maybe Magnetron or Quazatron?

 

[12thgear]

Gyron.

 

[axletramp]

Gyron.

YEEESSSSSSS! At last.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Damn next.👍

 

[12thgear]

Ok, let's bring it back to the 90s. It may be easy to guess, but I don't care. This is one of my all-time favorite games.

 

[Sanji Himura]

It's going the wrong way to be Gyruss.

 

[axletramp]

Blazing Lazers?

 

[12thgear]

Not Blazing Lazers, but gameplay has some similarities.

Let's get some more guesses.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Space Megaforce? if it is, I will let another guy continue

 

[axletramp]

Space Megaforce? if it is, I will let another guy continue

Google images search confirms it is.

I'll take the turn then:

 

[Stiggy]

GTi Club+ Rally Cote d'Azur?

 

[axletramp]

GTi Club+ Rally Cote d'Azur?

Your answer is disturbingly accurate. I would have accepted GTi Club. Great arcade racer though.
