Well done

- And you said you wouldn't guess it.

chocky909 · 22-04-2006, 18:08

I DO remember this program, vaguely - well, the BBC adaptation anyway. Had no idea it was a game though.

Once I noticed the 'thing' I couldn't get the 'War Of The Worlds' out of my head.

Yes and if I hadn't we'd still be here at christmas.

I have one more obscure one - but I'm having trouble getting the screenshot to take properly, my original gameboy isn't all it once was

chocky909 · 22-04-2006, 18:28

I do believe it is MY go though...

Hurrah, I knew someone would know it. It IS Gravity Power. Fantastic game, unfortunately 2 player only and no one ever wanted to play against me - too busy with Sensible Soccer and Championship Manager...

Voted 2nd best Amiga game ever by readers of Amiga Power. Gravity Power was the third incarnation of the Gravity Force franchise and was free on a cover disk of Amiga Power.

I wish they'd release an online version for XboxLive Arcade. It'd clean up, but the original makers aren't really too bothered about reviving the thing - there are loads of versions available - I just use the original version on an Amiga emulator, but still no one will play with me.

TOUCHDOWN!

horace - you want to post a screen?

Horace · 26-04-2006, 06:04

OK.
Showing my age here, this was the first video game I ever played in an arcade.

chocky909 · 26-04-2006, 16:07

Wow, that is an old game, looks quite good though considering - they were clever back then with the superimposing technique. I also liked the games that were in tables. I'm going to get me one of those one day...

No idea really, although I'm sure I played something similar on my cousins' BBC once. It was called something like 'Quick Draw' or 'Pistols At Dawn' or 'Gunfight'... I really am just guessing here.

Stuart · 26-04-2006, 16:32

Pretty sure it was called "Boot Hill".

My cousin had the Arcade table version.
