@BillyH Is this the guy you remember?
Mega Race is the name of this game if it is.
Oh damn, that was quick! Checked a bit on youtube and that's it, thanks!
Many thanks @ClassicGMR! Guess I know which old game disc I'll hunt down next!
- First Pi: Pi 3 in a PSone case
- Second Pi: Pi 0 in a Retroflag GPi Case
- Third Pi: Pi 4 as a desktop computer
- Some time in 2020: Picade

@BillyH It was a favorite of mine on the 3DO that's why I recognized it so quickly. :)
I bought it on GoG last year. They have the Mega Race 1+2 pack for like $5. Was worth the nostalgia. :)

@ClassicGMR I see there's also apparently a third game, and a reboot coming up...
Didn't know they were available online. I see they are on Steam too, I think I still have a bit of cash on my account there even though I haven't played on Steam since 2016 or so. Think I'll sponsor them there, and then actually play it through RetroPie since apparently the first game was on Sega CD as well.

Ok, I have one game I have not been able to find.
When I was a kid, at a friends house, we used to play a game in an Amstrad computer with a monochrome black and green screen, that we loaded with a cassette. The game was a side scroller / shooter in which you piloted a small submarine. It had different levels in which you ended up fighting a boss. I know, it sounds pretty generic.
Any ideas?

@xwons Was that Sub Hunter?

I have absolutely no idea what game you're talking about but you have me intrigued. Do you have any more information to go on? Was it console or pc? Generation? Arcade? Anything at all?
-
@xwons This sounds like an Apple game I used to play, but I can't remember the name either. Did you have to stop and kill underwater gates for your sub to proceed too? Was there an oxygen gauge that you had to fight your way to the top to fill up before you ran out?

I don't know... It could be, but I remember it a bit different. I'll try it later.

The Sub Hunter game that @ClassicGMR mentioned has an oxygen gauge. But I am still not sure if that was the game.

Ok, no, it definitely wasn't Sub Hunter. Any other suggestions?

There was a game that I once played on the Apple IIe in school, and you had a certain number of batteries in your inventory that you had to connect correctly throughout the level with correct polarity and the voltages had to add up correctly. I think the character might have had an oxygen limit too, as the I think game was set underground. It's been so long since I've even seen or heard of the game, but I have fond memories of playing it on the old green and black display.

@Kookamunga That sounds like a game The Learning Company would make, something similar to Rocky's Boots or Robot Odyssey.

@xwons Sea Dragon?

@xwons Sea Dragon?
Mmm, no. Similar in style, but it's not the one I'm looking for. And I couldn't find an Amstrad version.
-
@xwons My periwinkle belt in Google-Fu is coming up with Oceana for the Amstrad. Doesn't quite look like the Apple game I remember (Sea Dragon wasn't it for that one either...)

@VictimRLSH 
Rockys boots?

Sorry, but I don't think that's it. The one I remember had several levels which ended figthing a boss. I remember one of them being some kind of sea serpent or eel in which you had to shoot its head.

@xwons Now that DOES sound like Sea Dragon.
