Robocop2 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Now granted this is a memory from about 25 years ago so I may have distilled several memories into one at some point but I always remember it the same way. A friend of mine had this game where as best I can remember you were a square that was shooting at skeletons, spiders and maybe bats in a large room with walls (kind of like a maze but I don't recall any objective other than shoot things) I don't really remember much other than that about it though. Sorry for the vague description and I know it sounds somewhat like Haunted House minus shooting things but if my memory serves me correctly the enemies were much larger than they are in HH. I'm certain it was for the 2600 as my friend and I both had one and I almost traded some toys for the game but decided not to. Any insight would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Sounds like either Crypts of Chaos or Dark Chambers, both horrible, horrible games. Edited February 4, 2011 by Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Punk 78 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sounds kinda like Venture to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I agree, Venture and Dark Chambers each fit that description. My wife and I played a two-player Dark Chambers game once for fun to see if it had an ending after Level "Z" (the game starts at "A"). However, after "Z" it started to randomly pick previous letters. It was quite dissapointing as I was expecting some kind of end to it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Venture is one of my favorite games, but you are a round smiley with a crossbow, not a square sprite. But then, maybe that's all the OP can remember after all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop2 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 After looking at screens for all the above mentioned games I really think it is Venture the layouts are similar to what I remember and the smiley face kind of stands out in my mind. Though for some reason I remember the enemy sprites being larger? Thanks guys for helping me solve a mystery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If you stay in a room too long a hallway monster will come in; their sprites are larger (and they're invincible!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If you stay in a room too long a hallway monster will come in; their sprites are larger (and they're invincible!) Could it also be Haunted House? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop2 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I had initially thought Haunted house but I don't recall there being a need to keep lighting a match to see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
