god I loved this game

herp · 10th February 2009, 10:47

There's one game I used to play on my old 386 that I haven't found since. The whole screen was tinted green, I'm sure it was called Hercules, it was 1 screen at a time that took ages to load, you were a big warrior (like Hercules) with a broadsword and you'd just have to get to the other side of the screen through obstacles and enemies. It was tough, I only ever got to the 6th screen. Can't for the life of me find it. It wasn't like Mario where the character was 1/24th the size of the screen, Hercules was about 1/2 - 2/3rds the height of the screen

Baal · 10th February 2009, 10:49

Sounds like Rastan Saga, although that loaded pretty quick and was colour.

And it was fucking hard.

Hmm, nah it was definately just green. He was a lot bigger, it was almost ridiculous how much of the screen he took up compared with every other game.

Cyberbob · 10th February 2009, 10:57

They did leave a few key ones out from my past though

Guess I liked platformers!

None of this RTS stuff.. This was THE Dune game.

I can still hear "Alright Paul, I'm coming with you" perfectly in my head.

Baal · 10th February 2009, 11:35

nooooo I drank that sandworm crap too early and I died, that was traumatic

Cyberbob · 10th February 2009, 11:36

Haha, the water of life.
Yea, i've done that before.

Glad to see i'm not the only one that had his phrase stuck in their head

I seem to recall a fucking annoying jump mechanic, ie once you press the jump button, he just jumps a certain distance that you can't control, making precision platform jumping nearly impossible.

it's been rather unsettling to discover that too with MAME. That no matter how many 'twennies' I might have had, I could not have passed GhostnGoblins or defeat any arcade games from my youth. It can't be my playing skills. No way.

"Gravy" doesn't necessarily mean brown-coloured meat sauce.

Crikey. Hmm, so let my anger guide me then eh, gotcha.

Anger is a useful tool when it comes to old games.

sv · 10th February 2009, 13:36

Baal you must be a tuff cunt. The end of Ghosts n Goblins is fucking nuts. Can't remember whether I MAME clocked it or not - probably blacked out in a fit of rage...

Whereas I could clock Shinobi and Shadow Dancer on 1 credit, because I'm a farking ninja ;D

Though they were relatively easy.

~raVen~ · 10th February 2009, 14:12

Good ol commador 64 Ghost N Goblins...clocked it and swore to never play it again

Fitz · 10th February 2009, 14:28

FUCK GHOSTS AND GOBLINS, YOU WILL NEVER BE PLAYED AGAIN! MUCH HATE
