Gaming Guessing Game

OK. Might be a bit hard this one.





2 pics from the same game.

You think?

I know this one, used to play it all the time...there's no way I can remember the name though. I can't even remember if it was an arcade game or a console game. You have to go round the squares and you get the points if you 'close' a square. The other fellows chase you. I'm sure I remember playing this with an arcade stick which makes me positive it was an arcade game...Erm, erm, erm. As for the name, nope, nothing.

[Quokka]

I got no clue on this one

[Stenevor]

It was arcade only as far as I know, if any of you have MAME its definately available for it.

I keep thinking Qix, but I know it isn't. I only half remember Qix too. This must be more than twenty years old, I'm guessing.

[Stenevor]

No,its not Qix. I used to play it at the local youth club around 1983-84, but it was made in 1981.

Old people shouldn't be allowed to play this game

I have never seen this one, or something that even looks like it.

I have not got a clue, and it looks like no one else has either... any chance you could try us with another one?

[polymath]

Yeah, I second kyektulu's motion.

[Quokka]

It's called Amidar (1981). Here's a novel idea it used a joystick and one button for 'jump' but not you when you hit the button all enemy players jump giving a brief period to escape in.

And you play as a gorilla on even and a paint roller on odd numbered levels, against savages and pigs respectively, whilst beating both the pigs and savages to the bannanas in the bonus levels.... of course.

[polymath]

Amidar....I remember the name, but don't associate it with the above screenshot.

[Stenevor]

Quokka is correct. I'll stick to more recent games in future. Probably.

[Quokka]

It's always good to mix it up, having said that here's yet another one from me from the mid 80's

Xexyz?
