Haha you're not even close. I'm gonna start getting you some real clues now.

IIRC it was actually the first game I bought* for my C64 in the mid 1980s. This arcade game was made for more or less all of the platforms avaliable at the time, even if they came a couple of years later than the Commodore version. There has also been a couple of sequels that I hadn't heard of before I made some research about it. The first of them X 2 a few years later and a second one at the end of the millenium for a consule that was a total failure as far as I can tell.

* In other words, it was not the first game I owned for the C64, but that's another story...

Jeff Minter!, that's all I gonna say

Another so called clue:
The view is 3rd person from aboveish, the person that you control moves from bottom left to top right. More or less at least.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I want to guess Beachhead but I think we already did that one.

[CapTVK]

I'm thinking of Space Harrier but that doesn't really match with the 3rd person view.

[Kropotkin]

Both wrong!

Clue: The areas that you move trough is basically the same each time but there's more dangers and also more or less for you to do depending how you managed the last time around.

Krop: Attack of the Mutant Camels?

Asmodean

[Kropotkin]

Nope, another clue coming up later tonight.

[Standup]

Tempest ?

[Buck Birdseed]

Sentinel?

[Kropotkin]

Clue: It's quite possible that some of you has been involved in this logistic task.

Oh, oh, oh. Paperboy?

Hmmmm... that could be right. Never knew there was a remake though.

[DrSpike]

That's almost definitely it from the clues given.

There was a sequel, but I don't know anything about a more recent console version.

[Kropotkin]

Yeah, Paper boy is the correct answer.

As I said, I didn't know about a sequel or a late consol version either, but I found the information on the internet so it must be so.

You gotta admit that the 'logistics-clue' was kind of sneaky!

[Buck Birdseed]

I admit.

Too tired to post a game now, will do tomorrow.
