Name that game?

[tennokoe]

I don't kniw if a thread for this purpose already exists, if it does I couldn't find it, my apologies.

The game I'm looking is a run and gun style, overhead view, the main characters looked like cartoon versions of Mark Knoplfer and Jimmy Hendrix welding electric guitars as weapons that shoot lightning like bullets or musical notes, not sure, art style was on comical cartoony side, anyone knows this game?

Edited: it was a 2player game since I remember that it was set to 1 coin 2 credits and I used to play it coop "free" with a friend.

Rock'n Rage?

That's the one, although in my memory seemed to have better graphics, Thank you.

I have an odd one that I've never been able to track down.
I remember playing it in an arcade at the same time as Captain Commando for an idea of date.

It was a scrolling beatemp up (2 player at least) The style was similar to Final Fight and not monsters (like Monster Maulers).

The unusual thing was that all of the enemies had very long health bars.I seem to remember there being around 3/4 on screen at one time. Almost like the game was some sort of boss rush.

All the best,
Paul

No problem, I have to say I had not heard of the game before but it was pretty easy to find via google with your description.

Isn't that always the case? That'll be the old rose tinted HD glasses

Well, the video is in the wrong aspect ratio, which doesn't help.

Hmm yeah, that's a bit too generic for the time period to pin point. Remember anything else? Scenery? Characters?

I don't think the game even runs at the correct speed in that video.

Some bosses in The Punisher have ridiculously long lifebars.

[aerobert]

Just thinking out of the blue. Violent Storm?

The non-generic thing about it was that it was a boss rush. It didn't have any popcorn enemies, only large characters with huge life bars

[aerobert]

Ah ok now I understand! Could it be a game which had a boss rush mode which can be set by dipswitches? Because my only thoughts (currently) are Monster Maulers and Metamoqester.

Red Earth?

Ive never heard or seen metamoqester looks great and an eyefull mess at the same time

I remember it looking similar to final fight, rather than the fantasy style of Monster Maulers etc and there were a couple of enemies on-screen at once even though they had large hit bars. It must have stuck in my brain as an unusual game

[aerobert]

Trying to dig up a name of a game but my old rotting brain doesn't want to comply.

It's a hybrid fighting/run n gun game from the mid 90's. Korean made if I remember correctly.

Did we get this other game above solved btw?

[mx5dob]

No joy on mine. Is yours a 1 on 1 vs game? I feel Ive played it on pandoras box before but cant remember the name. Seem to remember the sprite work was good

Thats what I thought it was. Couldnt remember the name to save my life. All these generic sounding names!
