looking for some PC Atari old games from 84's-92's.

Post by EagleHorse »

Hi All
I'm looking for these games for over a decade or even more :-)
I hope I can find some of them here.

1.
Space old game I think I played it on the Atari or nintendo at 85's, I remember that you play a space mam with helmet, you move backward (like pushing air in front of you and it makes you move to the opposit direction) you move in 8 dirrections, you shot at enemies ans pass levels,
I thing that you pass a level after killing all enemies.
Every level is very different from the earlier one, I think that a level is only one screen but not sure about that, Also is it very colourfull, and you can play 2 players at a time against the computer (the computer is not a player).
I thing that I played a blue space man.
(this particular game I'm looking for about 20 years not kidding).

2.
An Arcane pirate game, I played it in about 93's, you are playing a young pirate with a twisted long sword in a 2 dimension.
In the first level you walk in the street and enemies coming at you and kill them - I think it's two platforms (like Shinobi but you don't throw anything just hit with the sword).
In the second level you are in a small boat and fish are jumping from the see at you.
In the 3rd level you reach the pirate Ship and you fight them
I never pass this level so I don't know what is forther :)

3.
a pc game from about 88, you play a thief, you look small and twisted, you start in a jail and you have 6 different items to chose, I remember there is a key (to open the prison door) sword, Chainsaw and don't remember more.
when you open the door you get out and start walking jumping go down with ladders and fight enemies, I think there is a place that you are walking inside a sewerage and fighting rats, the platform move as you advance, It's a funny game.

4.
This game is a PC game from 86-88, I don't remember much but I know that you play a man with a sword I think, in the early stages you walk through a very large and big skeleton (a dinosaur maybe?) and then get to a jungle, you are climber trees etc. don't remember much but the graphics was preaty good andthe color was monotonic brownish.

5.
A nice pc 90's Tank game, you can choose to play against the computer or again another player.
you choose from 3 tanks (I think) that differs from their speed armor and the quantity of mines they can carry. your mission is to conquer the enemy flag and bringing it to your base. you can shot and distroy trees walls gates and shooting machines while going to the enemy base and looking for his flag while he is doint the same.

I hope to find a least some of them
Thank you all.
Leo.

Glad you found one! I remember Goody, now you mention it. None of these descriptions ring a particular bell, but I haven't had a chance to search for them yet.

For #2, I'm not coming up with anything close. When you say "Atari", do you know if you had a 2600/5200/7800, or an Atari 400/800/XE, or an Atari ST? There is, of course Sid Meyer's Pirates!, and Pirates of the Barbary Coast, and The Black Pirate, and SAGA No. 2 - Pirate Adventure, but none of them look like home runs to me.

#5, long shot, Tread Marks? Was it 3d, or top down? There are lots of tank games. :)

#1 sounds like so many side scroller games, but I don't recall a particular spaceman game until much later Metroid. Probably there are lots. :)

Hi Quadko, Thx for your replay,

about #1, (the Atari is related to the space man game not the pirate) and I really don't know if it was the 800 or 2600, I was playing in my friend house and I don't remember what they had. In this space man game
I remember that we played together agaist the computer, I looked all of your suggestion but it's not there, In the game you are floating in the air not attached to the ground, and you are not facing straight but in angle depending the dirrection you are floating, also you move in the opposite direction that you press I mean that in order to go to the right you are throwing air to the left and because you are floating in the air it moves you to the right, the dirrection of moving are 8.

about #5 - I found it! (well kind off), I found it for the AMIGA pc and it calls FirePower it is the exact game althou I remember that in the IBM PC - DOS it was called different and coudn't find it.

About #2 ( The Pirate Arcane game) I remember playing that in a store placing coins to the Arcane machine and I think it was quite rare because I didn't see that game in any other place.
The first level is a bit foggy to my memory I don't remember if it had two levels (like in Shinobi) or one, but I do remember that is 2D and you move in one direction (to the left) until you get to the sea - that is the level 2 when you get a little boat that you standing on it and sailing to one dirrectin (left) and fish and shurks jumping from the sea at you and you have to hit them with the sword, if you managed to overcome you get to the big pirate ship and need to fight them.

Thx
Leo.

I remember playing the DOS Firepower before. It's named the same, assuming it's this one: http://www.mobygames.com/game/fire-power
Mobygames has lists of games for various systems, too. You might be able to find some of these on there.

I found another game #1

Post by EagleHorse »

Hi,
I just can't belive it but I found another game - I was looking for that game for nearly 25 years!!!
it's the #1 on the list - the space man game:

I had to contact a childhood friend of mine that haven't talk to him about 20 years, he had the game and we use to play together back in the days, so,
The Game released in 83' for the SpectroVideo MSX - Platform
and it calls "SASA"
There are two versions of it, the other one similar to it is Astro Robo Sasa and was released acording to the original one at 84', the "newer" one is not close to the original, the levels are duplicated and it looks different.
although it's fun to play but the original is the best game I ever played seriously B)
The problem is that I could find only few picture of the original one and not the game itself so I can't play it :upset: while for the Astro Robo Sasa you can find pictures videos on you tube and etc.


you can see more info here:
http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?ars

note that the original game I was playing is the picture at the bottom!

If you know a way to get this game I really appreciate
let me know, I have to get this game.
Thank you and enjoy
Leo.

In the first level you walk in the street and enemies coming at you and kill them - I think it's two platforms (like Shinobi but you don't throw anything just hit with the sword).
In the second level you are in a small boat and fish are jumping from the see at you.
In the 3rd level you reach the pirate Ship and you fight them
I never pass this level so I don't know what is forther Happy

This game is a PC game from 86-88, I don't remember much but I know that you play a man with a sword I think, in the early stages you walk through a very large and big skeleton (a dinosaur maybe?) and then get to a jungle, you are climber trees etc. don't remember much but the graphics was preaty good andthe color was monotonic brownish.

As for spaceman you'll have to dig in MSX ROM download sites, and use a MSX emulator to run it.
