help identifying old game

[MR_Candyman]

I used to play this gamer where u were in a spaceship and you had to shoot at another spaceship by typing in x,y numbers and you'd shoot a "photon torpedo" and it'd be affected by planets gravity and black holes and stuff, and you had to eventually hit the other ship...first one to do so wins.

I played this game on tthe Amiga a LONG time ago, but can't remember it's name. Also is there a pc version?

[mzkhadir]

I am thinking you are thinking of this game,

ASTEROIDS

IGN PC Review : ASTEROIDS

This is the pc version.

[MR_Candyman]

no...not like any asteroids game I could find... and it's just about blowing up the enemy, you can't move your ship at all, just select a direction to fire by typing in x,y coordinates

[zhangm Supervisor]

Radar, I think. I played something similar a long time ago.

[Ravager]

Something like it is Scorched Earth. But it's not what you're talking about (not in space).

But if you like those kind of games, I strongly suggest you take a look at Scorched 3D.

Maybe Captive by UBI soft? I don't think it was in B&W on the Amiga though...

Since there seems to be a couple of Amiga users here, does anyone remember a Infogrames game (also taking place in jail) where u did different jobs for each mission, like feeding prisoners, peeling potatoes, keeping prisoners sleeping etc :) It was a pretty cuteish game, like North&South.

Scorched Earth is on land and mountains. there is an alternate site - www.scorched2000.com, you can play others on the internet via Java.

argg....I remember that game cuz my mom bought it for me. I didn't really like it and stopped playing after like 2 or 3 times. I can't remember it's name for the life of me...I seem to be horrible with names...of course I've always known this...

One for all the amiga fans. I'm sure there are many people who wasted most of the childhood playing this game, now you can waste even more as it's now abandonware.

you're right...I did watse many hours playing that game...

the graphics also remind me of another great sport game: Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2...the first wasn't all that great, 2 was AMAZING!

[John Veteran]

i got another one for you guys. it was an old super nintendo game, and i think it was like a soccer game or something, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't soccer. i remember it was a lot of fun, and there was one character named boris ( :laugh: )
