Shoot Planes and Parachuters with a Tank/Missle Gun?

Post by NightDragon »

There was this game I used to play...YEARS ago, where there was a building on the bottom of the screen, in the middle. You used the left and right arrow keys to aim the "anti-aircraft missle gun" thing at planes that flew overhead, and you'd shoot them. Sometimes, parachuters would come out of the planes, and you'd have to shoot them too. IF for some reason, you missed three parachuters and they landed safely, they would invade the building that the tank/gun was on, and that was the end of the game.

The screen never moved or varied - the only motion was the movement of the gun at the bottom of the screen, the planes overhead, and the parachuters both in the air and on the ground.

The reason I say tank/gun was because at the time I played this game, I thought it WAS a tank ontop of the building. It had a dome top, and a gun that you'd move with the arrow keys...and so I was thinking that maybe somebody else had played this game, and thought along a similar line.


If you guys can, please give me (if not a site that offers a download of this game) the NAME of this game. Thanks VERY much guys :) I just discovered this site today, and exploded. Nostalgia overload if I ever saw one. Made me insanely happy, though. :D :D :D

Nope, but it looked almost exactly like that...same idea, different graphics.

It's called Night Raid...found it :)
