Help me remember the name of a game please!

Hi,

 

I have memories of an arcade game from the early 80's. I thought it was called Pilfer, but I don't see it on KLOV. So maybe I am wrong.

 

You controlled a man, and walked upward on a scrolling screen (the same point of view as Ikari Warriors). Purple and I think Yellow monsters would stalk you. You could throw grenades at the monsters. The first 1 or 2 hits would half bury the monster. If you didn't finish it off it would eventually dig itself out. At the end of a level would be a castle. You had to hit all the flags on the castle with your grenades to destroy it and proceed to the next level.

 

Does anyone else remember this game? What was it called?

 

Thanks much,

It sounds like a game that I played on my Vic 20. I do not know the name of that one though.

 

Try this entry and see if this is it...

This game is Naughty Boy. I just sold one like a month ago for like 100 bucks.

Yes! That's it. Or at least something very very similar. Thank-you very much. Its been bugging me, that I couldn't find any record of that game until now.

Yep that's definitely Naughty Boy! One of my favorites as a kid.. ... although not so much now

Its a little strange game play. The joystick is really wierd (no gates) and the graphics look like 6 million dollar man meets Dennis the Menace. Wierd.

 

I bought a wearhouse load of games last fall, and that was one of them. Funny, it was one of the only ones that worked. One cap, and she was up and running. Would never have heard of it otherwise....
