Can't Remember an NES Game

Post by BurningDoom »

I can't remember it for the life of me. I played as a young child at my cousin's house.

It was very similar to Ikari Warriors in that it was a vertical scrolling, overhead view. I remember there being tanks similar to Ikari Warriors as well. And I distinctly remember being able to blow away landscape in it, I seem to remember blowing through a forrest of trees, but it could have been something else. There was also power-up icons (or maybe bonus point icons?) for your tank you could pick up underneath some of the blown-away landscape.

I know it's not Ikari Warriors. And I looked up the 2 sequels on YouTube, but those aren't ringing any bells. Does anyone here have any suggestions on what it might be?

A long shot, but the first thing that came to mind from destroying landscape and finding power-ups under it was King's Knight. Of course it doesn't have tanks, but memory can easily play tricks like that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, there's Guerrilla War and Iron Tank.

I thought the overhead Rambo games were on the SMS.

You're not thinking of Commando are you, Burning?

Holy crap, I've been looking for this game for so long. I was considering posting about it but now I don't need to.

I have this game. Was thinking it'd be an RPG of sorts based on the label art, title, and developer.

I was pretty surprised when I popped it in to find that it as a shmup of all things.

I think it might have been this game. If not it was very similar. But I was sure it was tanks or jeeps or something. Oh well, this is the closest one to I've seen. It's definitely not Jackal, or as someone on another board pointed out it's not Heavy Barrel (but Heavy Barrel looks like a ton of fun).

And a fun one of all things. We discussed it briefly here. I guess not everyone is sold on it, but I enjoy it. No score, though, so you do it for the fun and to win. I'm entirely ok with that.
