th3rEsa Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi folks, while talking to a colleague about old Sega and Nintendo consoles, I suddenly remembered that there was a game (might have been in the late 90s) which I loved to play, and I suddenly felt the urge to find out the name of that game. The main problem is that I can't even remember which console it was, probably a NES or SNES... The vague basics: The game play was similar to other side-scrolling games, like Abe's Oddysee. One of the "players" (in multi-player mode, at least) was a pachyderm-like creature which could just knock down enemies instead of shooting them. That's, basically, all I can remember. I walked through the Wikipedia lists of games, but I couldn't find the right one. Any hints would be highly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th3rEsa Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Nah - too easy. No Donkey Kong, no Sonic, no Mario. Sadly! (Also, the "rhino" was an actual fighter, not just a vehicle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 So it was a rihno, as opposed to an elephant? I'm now thinking of a character in the Trutles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3rEsa Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) The Turtles rhino was one of the enemies if I remember my comic life correctly. (All I can say is that is was a pachyderm-like creature which had the habit to knock down enemies. It never said "I am a rhino" IIRC. I wish I could be more specific.)

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 9, 2016 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2016 Gonna need more info on this one. Abe's Oddysee was a PS1 platformer, not even in the same generation as NES or SNES. Are you sure it was on cartridge? Any memories of level locations, other characters or the box art / cartride label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memories of the controller you were using? The NES is very different from the SNES / PS1 controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
