LessNick Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hello there o/ Back in 1989, I had a cassette with a game. Unfortunately, tape was damaged, and the game is was not loaded. After so many years it’s hard to remember the name of the game, but I definitely remember that on the loading screen there was a skull with wings, like this one: Having looked at many archives, I unfortunately did not manage to find something with a similar loading screen. Maybe it was a loading screen of a cracked version of the game. I really hope that someone can remember at least something. Thanks in advance for any help.

In any case, many thanks for the help, maybe someone else will remember something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 My initial thought was like every one else, screaming wings...I know you said the game did not load but any idea of what the game style was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there is no more information. In addition to the loading screen, nothing else is remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Yeah, known as the Renegade symbol (or close), one for the old Hells Angel bikers The game however is unknown at the moment but Screaming Wings is a big match or sorts..Wish the guy knew a little about the game, a genre would make it soo much easier.. Oh well, it it can't be remembered then that's life, if I land on it I'll pass on the info.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Well I've sat here and gone through over 7500 games on the Gamebase looking at the screens and only 3 are barely even close.. Screaming Wings... And these two purely because they have skulls on them Nemo's Vault http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-nemo-s-vault_3676.html Pribeh Ze tmy http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-pribeh-ze-tmy_20896.html The gamebase is pretty damn good so if its not in there its either very rare / country specific or a type in of some sort (and the gamebase has many of them) ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Savage Pond and War-Copter have small skulls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessNick Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thanks so much for trying, but still it is't that: Nemo's Vault - yes skull, but two and small Pribeh Ze tmy - big skull without wings and year 1992. the game on tape was released explicitly earlier or in 1989 Savage Pond and War-Copter - sorry but very small skull and not b/w colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Where were you located at the time? UK? Eastern Europe? There aren't tons of games with loading screens on the Atari so it could've been a pirate intro screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 If OP says "oops, it was on the C64" can we kill him then and there Seriously, I didn't load many tapes as I got the DD as soon as possible.... Actually, OP, was it a genuine tape...Trying to see if its directly loading a game or a pirate probably cracked loader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Efficient but needs a bit of arcade violence, maybe Tom & Jerry style..Or giant Acme rock from Road Runner.....Sorry, too much red meat 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
