SOLVED -
Okay so a recent thread reminded me of one of the few games you fabulous people didn't help me name yet.
This is NOT the game I'm talking about but it reminded me of it :
So I would say a good 25 years ago, there was this game at an arcade. A shoot 'em up. There was two distinct gameplay phases I remember :
- One were you controlled your ship in a tube, like in the gif here (full tube, not incomplete). Evidently there were ennemy ships and you could move on this circular surface, making you feel dizzy.
- Another where your ship was on an horizontal plane, shooting ships that came toward you, well I think it was the case.
I remember this game quite clearly not because of a particular quality, but funnily because with rudimentary graphics and no background this was a little... scary ? I mean, the whole thing gave me a weird infinity vibe, like we are in this huge tube and on this huge plane but there is nothing forward.
SOLUTION - Tube panic - 1984
And I'm still a little uneasy.
