Which PC shooter was this? Can you describe it?
Hmm for some reason I have the word 'Menace' or 'Menacer' or something when I think of it, it was a left to right shooter like R-Type (thats why I tried out R-Type as apposed to a scrolling upwards sorta one).
I remember you could power up your blasts different ways, by shooting at the little box before you collected it you could change what blast power up you received.
I'm tryin to research it now, it was more than likely a port from an arcade game or somethin.
I use to spend hours playing that and Sorcerian :lol Both games felt more like they belonged on a console instead of a PC game, cause at the time PC games to me were like Kings Quest and Gold Rush adventure games etc heh.
If I tried it again today it would probably kick my ass too, but being young and having fewer games than now a days to play kinda gave you incentive to keep at it and 'get good'.
I miss those days, being able to some how appreciate mostly any game just cause thats all you had lol.
EDIT: Oooo turns out it was perdominatly an Amiga game made by DMA Design (lolgta), but was also ported to PC which is how I ended up playing it.
Wow, doesn't look like much now-a-days. :lol Certainly brings back some fond memories though! <3
