nEED HELP WITH SIDE-SCROLLER NAME

[gingy1]

Help,

Can't think of the name of a side-scroller i used to play. Had a gun, walked to the right, could jump onto a balcony if it was there, moved real smooth. Had baddies that would come out ofthe doors, or you could go in to hide. If on bottom floor, push up and jump, you went to balcony, if just up, went into door if available. On balcony, down and jump went to bottom floor. Baddies dressed in white? maybe red? also. could crouch. Help

Sly Spy?

Actually, from the description you gave there still would be many games that fit. Can you remember anything else? Music? Scoring? Types of power-ups (if any)? Types of bosses?

Rolling Thunder I think

There was also a little-seen Rolling Thunder type of game called "Rough Ranger". It was pretty good. The animation was very similar.

 

Sly Spy used the Robocop engine.

Yeah I'd say check Rolling Thunder.

Here is a link to the Rolling Thunder entry at KLOV, which has two screenshots of the game. Maybe these will help jog your memory?

He may also be referring to "Rough Ranger". Hasn't anyone else heard of this game?

 

It used to be at a 7-11 I went to.

He specifically mentions balconies. There were a ton of side-scrollers to be sure Rough Ranger was one of them.... Didnt the first screens of RR involve an airport?

 

I would think if that were the game he'd say... "Help,

Can't think of the name of a side-scroller i used to play. Had a gun, walked to the right, started out at an airport and made your way down into this military base"

 

Altho your right the two were very similar... If I had to bet my last $. It would be on RT. I guess we'll know when he checks the thread again. If he does!

[gingy1]

That's IT!!! You guys are great! Rolling Thunder, never would have though of it...

 

Thanks,

I didn't realize he was looking for the name of such a common game like Rolling Thunder. I figured from what I read that he was looking for something more obscure like Rough Ranger.
