Commodore 64 Games Identification Thread: Name the Game!

[kitt]

Is there any C64 game based on Knight Rider?

[Zorch]

Yes, there are
But I haven't played them, though.

Just one, right? According to your link, Knight Rider II was never published, or was it?

[Zorch]

Well, at least not official by any company, it seems. But it's there.............I can't tell if this is a complete game. But as it's size is 2 disk sides it looks like a full game.

Thanks.

Knight Rider I apparently isn't such a great name (Lemon64 gives it a 1.9 and Zzap gave it a 16%) but still am going to have to try it.

Yeah looked at the reviews there it does sound bad heh... I haven't played any of the Knight Rider games either.

I played the first one... it WAS really bad, as everyone says. One of those games were obviously the developers thought they could get away with poor gameplay and instead have the game lean on the popularity of the TV show.

I am trying to remember a name of this game... You had to save New York from aliens, there were two jets (I think a white jet and a blue jet) one for each player, and there was the New York City with buildings in the middle and on the bottom there was a subway. You could fly around the city shooting aliens and you could also go down to the subway and become a tiny person and get run over by trains

What's ironic is that it's my favorite game and I would play this game all the time as a kid (usually with a friend or with my little brother) so it's really bugging me that I cannot remember how it is called

See you did know the name of the game after all

[Opponent2000]

Ha, I guess I did

I also need help in remembering the name of a game

I played it very long time ago... so don't remember that many details.

It's a graphical text based adventure (meaning text game, with pictures). I think the screen was divided into two, with the picture above and the text below. It had very cool art.

So I am not 100% sure about this next part, I could be confusing it with another game:
ok so it was a Sci Fi game. You were on another planet and you had to get to your ship and repair it and get away from the planet (like I said not sure about this )

Ok so here is the part that I am sure about:
There was this alley in the game with thugs in it. If you went through the alley you got mugged and lost all your money, and then you couldnt win the game. The solution to this puzzle is that you had to deposit your money in a bank, then cross the alley (and get mugged but then it doesnt matter because you had no money on you) and then withdraw the money on the other side. I remember this part clearly because took me weeks to figure out this puzzle because I did not know that you could deposit money into a bank, and I was very happy when I finally solved it and beat the game.

Anyone have any idea? Hope this is enough to go on...

[dragontreasure]

mmm doesn't ring any bells to me, could it be Rebel Planet?

No it's not that

[Pocket]

If it helps, I think the disk had a purple lable with white text on it.

[Pocket]

Oh I also think that the game had a longer name then average (like maybe at least 2 words in the name?)

[dragontreasure]

Do you remember the publisher? Like was it Activision?

Don't remember could have been Activision

The plot you describe sounds like a game called Mercenary (your ship is stuck on an alien planet and you have to repair it and leave the planet)

But then Mercenary isn't a text game... and there's no alley with thugs in it So it's probably not it.
