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

@top-specci Hmm...I'm not sure about MAME as i'm new to retro gaming. But how odd! The game VGA Tanks that I remembered on my 486 is a top down tank game, not like the one I remembered.
Would be interested though if there was one on MAME!

@vasquez109 LOVED that game so much, I made a clone of it for the old Model 100 Laptop!

This is driving me crazy for decades at this point!
It's either a Sega Master System of Mega Drive/Genesis game. It was a platformer and the only level I can remember is an underwater one. The main things I remember were having to avoid sharp obstacles (Maybe sea anemone?) and the boss of the level was an lantern fish. You had to hit the lantern on the fish's head to do damage to him and his colour palette would change as he took damage.I distinctly remember my mum playing it but doesn't remember. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you

Not sure if I can help but could it be this one
Although this might be a bit too new.
One game that had me racking my brains for literally weeks was one where you controlled a guy in an arctic location, and had to avoid lightening. I couldn't remember if it was for Atari 800XL, or Amiga 1200 as I had both of them. He had to raise flags or something. But the main thing was you could design your own levels, and play them, which I thought was a fantastic idea. I was sure character was called Pierre.
I finally found out what it was after searching the net for arctic games, ski games, pierre games, Atari games, Amiga games. It just popped up in my head.
Polar Pierre!

-
@pallante I know Wild Cup Soccer, but don't think that was released on the PC, so not sure. But something like that ?
-
@buzz its close but i played on a emulator and the camera was on the side of the pitch and the graphic was more cartoony and thats best i can describe to you
-
@jorabbit That narrows it down to about 8000-10,000 games...
System?
Rough release date?
SOMETHING? -
@jorabbit rogue trooper??

When I was in Vegas a few years ago there was a 2-person wide cabinet shooter with a steampunk theme. The player characters were women and you both had magical golden guns. In the first round you were hired as mercenaries to protect a sailing ship from zombie pirates and other undead. If both players focused fire on one point for long enough, a powerful beam attack would result.
-
@victimrlsh Could it be "Sega Golden Gun"?
-
@theretroprince Nope, had a different theme. The guns looked familiar, maybe a sequel?
Edit: YouTube videos for Sega's Golden Gun show the gun firing and reloading with bullets, but the game we played fired continously without reloading because it was magical. The first round was on a ship, not a city.
-
@victimrlsh Deadstorm Pirates?
-
@kn4thx YES! Thank you!

So - it's a 2D fighting game, but isnt streetfighter.
Its is set against a Japanese backdrop.
I've searched shogun, ninja and samurai games on google images with no success.
It's most likely to be from the early PC era. (486 or earlier) but ,may also have been an Apple game or maybe even an arcade one.'
I know this is really vague but perhaps someone has an inkling....

@landyvlad
when the 486 was en vogue there were only a handful of fighting games for the PC.
Street Fighter was surely the most popular.
The most impressive one was indeed Mortal-Kombat for the PC as one of the first with Vesa-Local-Bus-Support.I guess it was not the PC ;)
SNK was the King of Fighting-Games in the early 90s (and propably still is concerning 2D Fighting) with their NEOGEO-System.
Did you have a look into "Samurai Shodown", "Art of Fighting", "Kabuki Klash" and other titles for this system? -
Thanks but it would have predated those games - was simpler graphics no background / foreground etc all on one plane really (IIRC) My memory is awful but It would be pre 1990 possibly a fair way pre...
edit: after an exhaustive search it was probably Karateka
The others I found, but which weren't what I was looking for were Bushido, and Budokan: The Martial Spirit
Thanks for your help peoples :)
-
@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. -
