KIWASABI #1 Posted March 11, 2009 Hey everybody, I'm looking for games from a little-explored genre: tunnel shooters. The only one I can think of is S.T.U.N. Runner, but I don't really think that's great of a game to be honest (there's not enough stuff to shoot). Can anybody think of some good tunnel shooter games that are pretty fast and have plenty of enemies? Any help is appreciated. By the way, to be clear, I'm talking about games where you're actually flying through the tunnel rather than games like Tempest where you're just locked on the outside of the tunnel. -Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to play this on PC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgBWwmnMx6M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nester #3 Posted March 11, 2009 What about a game like N2O for the Playstation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIWASABI #4 Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks for sharing these games, guys. Tunnels of Armageddon is a very interesting looking game. Is there shooting in it as well or is it just dodging barricades in the tunnels? It looks like there's just the one video on youtube and it doesn't show any shooting. What about a game like N2O for the Playstation? Yeah, this is actually more the type of game I was talking about. If anybody thinks of any others please let me know. Thanks. -Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watch the video again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jess Ragan #6 Posted March 11, 2009 Hell yeah, N2O! It's one of the best games in the genre as long as you lock the camera view. Don't believe the hype on Nanotek Warrior, though... it's pretty lame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimo #7 Posted March 12, 2009 no shooting, but a really cool tunnel game for the Atari 800XL is Yoomp!, a homebrew from last year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIWASABI #8 Posted March 13, 2009 no shooting, but a really cool tunnel game for the Atari 800XL is Yoomp!, a homebrew from last year. Thanks for sharing that; that's very cool! Isn't the game frustrating though? I assume it's a lot like Monkey Ball, which is a game I have very little patience for. It's a cool concept though and I do love how the ball bounces in time with the beat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BSA Starfire #10 Posted March 13, 2009 How about Microcosm & Sewer Shark for the Sega Mega CD? Also Zaxxon 2600 fit's this catagory I reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIWASABI #11 Posted March 13, 2009 How about Microcosm & Sewer Shark for the Sega Mega CD?Also Zaxxon 2600 fit's this catagory I reckon. Microcosm and Sewer Shark both look fairly interesting. Gotta love all the prerendered FMVs they have, haha. FMV didn't last too long. The 2600 version of Zaxxon actually looks pretty interesting. To be honest, I wasn't ever a big Zaxxon fan because I hated the isometric 3/4 perspective; it would've been a lot better to play from the side or from behind the plane. The only reason they went with that perspective was to give the game a 3d feel which I guess was cool for back then, but unfortunately I think it makes the game suffer in longevity.

I love the music too, even though I'm generally not a huge fan of gurgling SID chiptunes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
