Hmmm... sounds pretty strange...

I remember playing Schorced Earth on my Amiga, within a year of buying that computer... I played that game alot, until Charr came out (a much better version of Scorched Earth)... I got the Amiga in 1993 (January to be exact)

**Adagio** · June 27, 2003, 19:12

Ahh... now I see it... I just checked through my old games (my collection of Amiga Roms), and found it... Though it wasn't called Scorched Earth, it was called Scorched Tanks... the first of it's kind...

**Adagio** · June 27, 2003, 19:17

Scorched Tanks was released in 1994, so it seems like it actually was a new game, as I played it first time... I was told different (and back then I didn't understand english)...

Hey I'm still claiming the win.

**Nikolai** · June 27, 2003, 19:22

OK

But anyway, who's next, now that Spikie won't do it?

**SCG** · June 29, 2003, 22:18

well, gee, maybe i should just have given the answer instead of 3 more clues

if no one else steps up, i may throw in a video game i played in probably 1979 or 80

Ok since you're all big fairy wusses I'll do another:

Early 90s..........Amiga.

In this game, you take on the role of a young peasant. You were most recently employed as a beater for the king's hunting party. One night, the king receives a note from a bedraggled messenger, requesting the king's services to help stamp out an uprising led by a young enchantress in the remote village of Turnvale. As the king's men depart on their horses to ride to the rescue, your pony follows them, and you are unwittingly dragged along to the battle. When your party arrives at Turnvale, they are confronted not by an ordinary peasant uprising, but rather by a band of fierce, inhuman hired mercenaries - the Skorl. The king's men are defeated and the king is killed. In the process, you are flung from your mount and wind up on the ground unconscious. The Skorl take you prisoner, tossing you into the local dungeon. So begins your quest to rid Turnvale of the Skorl menace, and defeat the enchantress.

Lure of the Temptress?

**FrustratedPoet** · June 30, 2003, 05:53

OK, I'm right.

Next game - this one should be easy
Released:
1988
Platforms:
DOS, NES, Game Boy, Atari 2600, Amiga, Sega Master System, Genesis, Commodore 64

Billy and Jimmy Lee must rescue Billy's girlfriend after she is captured by Mr. Big and his gang. One or two players can play as Billy, Jimmy, or both rowdy lads as they fight hordes of gangsters who get in their way.

**DrSpike** · June 30, 2003, 06:04

Kung Fu.

**FrustratedPoet** · June 30, 2003, 06:10

Nope.

**Nikolai** · June 30, 2003, 06:19

Can it be Street Fighter?

**DrSpike** · June 30, 2003, 06:27

Oops got them mixed up.

It's Double Dragon.

/me wistfully remembers scrolling beat-em ups.

**DrSpike** · June 30, 2003, 06:32

Here's another:

Spectrum (and other similar platforms).......late 80s.

Are you a rebel without a cause? Well, here's one that'll keep you on a knife edge for months to come. Imagine's effort is a new breed of game, a type of gutsy, streetfighting action movie set in the gangland ghettoes in which you play the starring role - a tough martial arts expert. Based on the chart topping coin-op by Taito, its pure violence in graphic detail is a must for all closet reprobates (like FP).
