I'm on a continuous quest to find the games I used to play when I was younger. Games like Mach 3, , [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dspirit.png]Dragon Spirit and the obscure Ballgame 2 by "The Toxic Dream" -- of which I can't even find any screenshots. I don't really care if they were actually any good (I also cherish the horrible Dino: Lost in Bedrock). I'm doing this simply out of nostalgia. I pretty much have been able to track down every game, but there are still a few whose title I just can't seem to find out, googling the little details I remember about them.
In one of these, a side-scroller from, I estimate, around 1994, you played a character, some kind of robot, perhaps, that looked like it had stepped straight out of the game [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Omf-2097.png]One Must Fall 2097[/url], and whom you had to guide, in I think the first level, alongside a brown-colored rock face, which was covered with here and there a couple of bushes and shrubs.
In this game you could find and collect blue diamond-shaped objects. Interesting thing was, I believe, that you could only advance, meaning the screen would only 'scroll', if you had beaten the baddies within that particular screen. This meant, at least I think, that you couldn't go back to look for any of the collectibles you might have forgotten. I have no idea how you had to take out your enemies... whether it was by jumping, shooting or whatever, I simply don't recall.
It looked as if the environment was pre-rendered, similar to the first level of Heart of Darkness, but much cruder, and the brown color of the mountain wall was of a much darker shade. I'm not entirely sure if your surroundings were really pre-rendered because the environment, although detailed, may have been genuine 3d as well, which would have been noticeable whenever you advanced.
As you can read, lots of maybe's and I don't know's here, but the details I am pretty sure about are:
- side-scroller from around 1994;
- rock face partially covered with nearby bushes and shrubs as one of the levels, that, zoomed out, resembles something like this;
- fleshed out environments;
- you could collect blue diamond-shaped objects.
I'm hoping you experienced fellow-GOGers are willing and/or able to help me out. Does anyone have any idea of what possible game I'm talking about?
Thanks in advance!
