| I've been having trouble remembering the name of an NES title of a game I really liked as child. I'm hoping someone here may know its name. The game was Sci-fi, you flew around in space ship in first person and every now and then you would get to play a side-scrolling level. Does this ring any bells with anyone? |

| First person? Not that I can remember...the one that jumped to my mind was Starship Hector, but that's not in first person, it's over the top (although there were side scrolling levels) | |||

| I was thinking Captain Skyhawk myself... Mix of 3D and side-scrolling. | |||

| Star Wars had first-person spaceship stages. And they were all hard as hell. That game is mostly platforming, though. There's one spaceship level between Tatooine and the Death Star, and two at the very end. | |||

| I'm still thinking Skyhawk... You can buy weapons in that game. Pics. |

| No, I found Captain Skyhawk, that wasn't it. These were plain NES graphics. I think I should broaden the inquery. How about you guys name all Sci-fi side-scrolling ship flying you can think of. That might work. Checked off so far: Captain Skyhawk Starship Hector Star Wars Gradius Life Force ... I just realize I should of put this in general gaming. (edited by Ten on 07-25-04 05:54 AM) |

| It sounds also like Super R-Type. ... wait, was the a regular R-Type for NES? |

I'll move it to General Gaming.  Can't be Super R-Type because he's looking for a NES game. R-Type was never released for the NES... Famicom maybe, but not NES. |

| Nah, R-type never made it Famicom either. I'm not sure, but I think in the side scrolling part, the ship was four NES tiles long and two tiles tall. Most side scrollers where 2x2. (edited by Ten on 07-25-04 11:05 PM) |

| this probably ain't it, but we might be able to add Defender/Star Gate to the list. | |||

| Air Fortress was interesting since you had to pilot the ship first and then pilot yourself in the fortress... but the views were the same. | |||

| Air Fortress is Blaster Master meets Metroid with a dash of Bionic Commando. Has ironic title also. Star Voyager looks like it but it's not sadly. I've been surfing the game lists looking for it, interesting side note, there was a Star Fox game for the Atari 2600... Checked off so far: Captain Skyhawk Starship Hector Star Wars Gradius Life Force Defender 2 R-type Guardian Legend Air Fortress |

Definitely not the same Star Fox.  I don't know what The Last Starfighter was like... I just remember it as being an action game with space elements. |

| The last Starfighter was a movie tie-in game. It's also not it. Major flaw in the game: Landing is hard to do then finding world -1 in Super Mario Bros. ... Did that Super Mario Bros. 3 hack get finished yet by the way? The one with shopping. |
