One of Amiga's best games

Looks a little doofy now but I liked it back in the day.

I love this game! It's a fantastic 2D action-adventure.

I think when I replayed it I could play with my lives until the mine cart level, then died.

Also, LBP.

 

[rezuth]

Duke Nukem Forever! Its in the 2001 E3 trailer, looks rad!

 

[DemiMatt]

maybe the best ever-

I will say OP, you have it right! I was just playing this level last night!

 

[Danielsan]

Timesplitters Future Perfect.

 

[someguyinahat]

The Great Cave Offensive in Kirby Superstar has mine cart segments between levels, and I'm pretty sure Milky Way Wishes in the same game has an actual mine cart level, but neither is particularly long.

 

[BadSanta]

Rail Chase from Sega in Arcade.

 

[rexor0717]

Tomba! 2

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Oh yeah... and Indiana Jones for NES (Temple of Doom) had a large section dedicated to shitty mine levels. I believe one of those angry video game nerd types does a "review" of it.

In any event, it was awful and frustrating... the way mine cart levels usually are, but in rare form.

 

[Huggy]

Rail Chase used to scare the shit out of me in the arcade back in the days.

 

[Guevara]

Did anyone mention the African Mines level in Ducktails (a-DOOO-doo)

 

[Y-Z]

Had tons of fun with this mine level when i was a kid.

Man I miss when FPSs didn't take themselves too seriously.

 

[Death Dealer]

The original... ?

What I came to post. Seeing The Temple of Doom videogame in the arcade for the first time was such an adrenaline rush. Wow those graphics looked good. I hadn't been that stoked since I'd played Star Wars at Chuck E Cheese after ROTJ came out. :lol

From what I remember, Half Life had a cool mine cart level.

There's nary an Indy game without a minecart level, actually. :lol

Just for completion, the SNES trilogy and Infernal Machine haven't been posted yet.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

 

[cooljeanius]

Zelda: the Oracle Games had some nice puzzles with mine carts.

 

[faceless007]

What's that? Looks like a horror game?

 

[Attack You]

Temple of Doom (the movie) is pretty much the template for the Action/Adventure genre of gaming. You practically spoil yourself watching that movie and playing RE4 immediately afterwards. Eh, do it anyway. There are a lot worse ways to waste an afternoon.

 

[LoneWolf296]

Half Life - On a Rail not officially a mine cart level, but there were some intense scenes on rails in HL1

 

[Cipherr]

The only mine "cart" level that matters...

Sweet Jesus this man is awesome.

The most horrible mine cart level ever. Comes half way through the game and requires lightning reflexes. Lose all your lives and continues? Back to the start of the game!

OH GOD ... I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS HORROR.

This game was pretty decent, iirc, except for this terrible soul-crushing level.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Not necessarily a dedicated mine cart level, but it is the first game I can think of with mine carts...the first Bagman arcade game from '82, I think. Hard as hell, though you gotta love the money bag attacks on the inclines.

 

[beelzebozo]

Half Life - On a Rail not officially a mine cart level, but there were some intense scenes on rails in HL1

this one, and the one from RE4 are pretty much the only ones i ever have the desire to experience again. every other time it's, "oh, wonderful, a mine cart level."

 

[Dr.Hadji]

Spirit Tracks.

 

[Guevara]

Oh right and fucking GUERRILLA WAR (2:52)

<------------------------------------

 

[Kaldea]

I second the Taz Mania horror stories. I loved the game as a kid, but damn.

 

[Zakkath]

Came here to say DKC. You made me happy OP.

Same here. I really liked those levels. DKC was a great game.

 

[Poyunch]

What's that? Looks like a horror game?

The infamous vaporware title, Sadness.

 

[notsol337]

for those who aren't sure this gif is actually about 5 min long then it loops again.

If you look at the timer in the gif it's a little over a second.

 

[Solune]

Surprisingly enough, Spelunky doesn't have one (not that it would fit, anyway).

Within a Deep Forest has a mine cart level, if I recall correctly.

You've got a good memory.

[wsutton1]

Wizardry 8. Talk about cryptic track controls. My least favorite part of my most beloved pc game.

 

[faceless007]

The infamous vaporware title, Sadness.

Damn, that pic makes me want it.

 

[TheThunder]

Thread was over before it even started. OP got the right answer.

 

[nico]

The mine cart levels are the worst in dkc what the hell is wrong with you people?
And sonic 4 still looks terrible.

 

[Facism]

 

[beelzebozo]

the one from RESIDENT EVIL 4 is bad ass specifically because it's all about blasting motherfuckers and not about making the stupid cart jump over shit. the game's mechanics were so boss that not even the mighty shittiness of a mine cart level could make it anything less than excellent.

 

[Joe Prodigy]

And the entire game that is a mine cart level..

Win.

 

[FilosopherStoner]

Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, come on. But the OP is absolutely right.

 

[Secks4Food]

Tomb Raider III had a really shitty/hard one in Antarctica, but at least it's fun modding it into levels where it doesn't belong, like so:

Donkey Kong Country was the first game that popped into my mind, but it was already in the OP

 

[0OoO0]

Lego Indiana Jones

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

 

[Chairhome]

Magical Truck Adventure is one long mine cart level.

I actually had the opportunity to purchase this at an arcade auction... it was only going for about $200 cause no one wanted to take that giant thing home, haha... I probably would've bought it if I had a way to transport it.

 

[chuckddd]

Cart will not push self!
