Name of this game?

Post by robertbn »

I cannot remember the name of this arcade game back late 80s. It was an horizontal shooter were you controlled an spaceship. You are in caves or something. You have to destroy some enemies to get some kind of letters (such as "P" or "S"), so you can upgrade your weapons and get a shield (if I don't remember, but the shield seemed to be white/blue). Does it ring the bell to any of you?

That could be a ton of games.

A Gradius title seems a likely guess, or possibly Xexex or some such...

Unfortunately it is not one of these.

I've serarched all the "Shooter / Flying Horizontal" games in mamedb.com but none of them seems to be the game I'm looking for... :(

Yeah, you're right. It is horizontal, not vertical. My mistake :)

Vanguard
If it is this game, its mainly a horizontal with some levels vertical and diagonal. Tjhe power up would be hitting the energy to be invincible and run ober enemies. This game should have been a Twinstick on the 5200.
