Kondrath Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Younger brother is trying to remember a game for the nintendo 64 (or possibly playstation). I don't know what the heck he's talking about, but maybe you guys will. This is his description: "the objective (might have been) to fly into circle/ringed checkpoints. The colors of the checkpoints were neon/lime green, and so was the inside. In between was purple and red. The ground was neon green. The main character was a person who could fly. The colors were silver-ish, but would reflect lighting, making it purple and a line of red. The sky was blue and clear. Was not pilot wings. It might have been just a minigame - not sure. Jet streams would come from your wings. When you tried to fly too far up, you'd hit an invisible wall. I think the ringed checkpoints followed the general path of a rectangle-shaped hill / valley. So, it was a rectangle of a hill with flat ground in the middle. Plains surrounded by hills on all sides. It's so simple, but I can't remember it or describe it correctly. If you could see what I'm talking about, you'd know it right away." Worst description ever, I know. Here is a picture of the alleged main character, lol.

killmaster84 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I thought of Meta Knight from the Kirby games =/ Although most likely completely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I thought of Meta Knight from the Kirby games =/ Although most likely completely wrong. lol, yeah, definitely not Kirby. Thanks for trying to help him, though! He's been trying to figure it out for years, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted February 22, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2010 I would've guessed Spyro the Dragon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Pilotwings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 22, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 22, 2010 I would think of Pilotwings/Pilotwings 64 too. There are different crafts, but the general idea is the same. Edit: I'm pretty sure there was a character in it called Birdman which kinda matches your description better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Doesn't match the description as closely as other, but Nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 +1 for Spyro ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 22, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hmm, can't think of anything else - although it could also be a Pilotwings ripoff. The whole lime green checkpoints with lime green insides thing threw me off. I suppose Nights into Dreams could be another possibility, but you don't always Fly in that game.

Kondrath Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks everyone. Just had him take a look at the screen shots / suggestions. He says "The closest is spyro, but I know that's not it. It looks like that, though." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 22, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2010 And he is positive it had wings, cause it sounds a bit like Space Harrier to me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 22, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 22, 2010 It was probably a dream :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Wasn't space Harrier, either. Yeah, I'm starting to think he must have been dreaming or something... Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1406 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Sorry to thread hijack, but I'm also after the name of a game that an old friend had years back. The description is even vaguer than OP's, but perhaps it'll ring a bell with someone. I'm 99% sure that it was on the SNES. The only thing I remember about this platformer is that somewhere in the game one of the power ups gives you one of those guns that pops out a sign that says "Bang". IIRC, the power up was actually a joke one and didn't do any damage to enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
