Post here if you can't remember the name of a game!

@landyvlad i did not mention Karetaka because it was released years before the 486-aera ;)
I know that game very well, played it a lot on my Apple //e (in yellow :D).
Those were the days of XTs and ATs and IBM-Commercials with Charlie Chaplin. -
-
@landyvlad It could also be Karate Champ, but it was more of a one-touch tournament than an actual fight.

@sirhenrythe5th

Here is another steampunk themed arcade game I vaguely remember playing a long time ago. This was an airship race with combat elements, you were not firing at the other racing airships, but at other targets in your path.
-
Ok, here is my long shot hoping that someone remembers...
8-bit era or older game (though there is a slim chance it could have been an Amiga game)
Driving or other type of car/vehicle game
*Every once in a while a vehicle would get in your way, and when this vehicle spawned the tune for "See the USA in your Chevrolet" would play.I hear that sound in my head all the time and I just can't figure out where the hell it came from. I know it was a game I played a lot, but my collection was so vast back then that I just can't remember where it might be from.

I played a Commodore 64 game as a teen where you were a wizard trying to keep your castle from being overrun by invading monsters. You could look down onto the courtyard from the top of the castle and blast monsters from up there with your staff. BUT, your staff had limited charges and your would have to fight your way to a witch stirring a cauldron full of whatever you needed to recharge your staff. By the time you got your staff recharged, the monsters have filled the halls and you have to clear them out and fight your way back to where you had the most advantage to repeat the cycle. There was no end, you were eventually overrun.

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional!
Enjoy the ride! -
@classicgmr It still amazes me just how many C64 were (and are) out there. I had a C64 for many years in my teens, and emulated it now and then in the years since then, but I never stumbled upon this Gandalf game.

@classicgmr YES!!! That was it, thanks!

@clyde I've hopped on the vic-20 revival bandwagon and have actually started coding my first vic-20 game in 35+ years!

Hi , it's been a while since i was looking for a breakout-clone game that i forgot it's name , but , i remember it's details it looked like (Breakout Invaders) game but a bit more realistic 3d , and instead of just a normal ball you release it's and a ball of lightning or electricity you produce by clicking on the right mouse button (and the more you hold the more it gets bigger) and you release it by clicking on the left mouse button , and you gain this electricity by breaking all the walls in front of you .So please anybody who remembers it name please write it down below . Thanks .
