There was this game for SNES that a friend of mine and me used to play about 10 years ago. It was an overhead spacship shooter and I have no idea whats it's called but here is everything I know about it. -It is 2 players -The two ships can "link up" and become one, with one player controlling the movment, the other player controls the gun. (Unless this is a different game, which I want also) -Before each level you get to choose a secondary weapon, of a list of about 12. You can't pick the same one twice. -One of the special weapons was "sticky bomb" grey sticky bombs would stick to enemies and explode in a few seconds. Thats all I remeber, and I really really really want this game. Anyone have any idea? I know it's a long shot.

Strike Gunner S.T.G. would be the game you're thinking of. I actually own this, that's how I remember. =P Not a bad little game... -Josh

Oh my god does this ever bring me back... There they are Adhesive Mines. MAN what a game this is! It's so easy though! I wish your primary weapons didn't do so much damage! I don't remember after you beat it, can you go back through it on hard or something? because there isn't even a hard mode in the options!!! If I played this with me mom we would beat this game... But so much fun. This could make a pretty fancy skill run. Using nothing but secondary weapons or soemthing?

Hey new game I am looking for. It's for NES and it features this strage mascott Domino's Pizza used to have. You use a yo-yo you fight, you have big rabit ears, and between level there a pizza eating contests.

Yeah do so, it is probably the most bizarre mascott ever. It's a man, in a strange red rabit suite O_o for domino's pizza... You would think AT LEAST it would ve something that has to do with dominos. But no.

ok ok, here is another one. This one is way hard because I remeber alot less from it. Here is what I got. it's NES It's ninja based, you are some kind of ninja. In one of the levels (the first one I think) you have to get accross a city avioding spot lights. You hide in shadows, and crouch as the lights go past you. On other parts of the game I vaguely remeber repelling down a buildings, over head views of indoor envirenments. Here is a list of games I am not talking about: Ninja Gaiden Shinibi Legend of Kage Otherwise, does anyone know what I am talking about?

It's RESCUE, or maybe it's called something similar. You are not a ninja, but a antiterrorist special forces soldier. There are, as you say, different modes of play: getting past the search lights, sniping at the windows, scaling the building and then going in to free the hostage. Edit: The full name of the game is "Rescue: The Embassy Mission".

Let's hope so, because I have an old game I'd like to have the title for too. - It's NES. It's an overhead shooter. It's in space. - The stages are numbered Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc. - There is only one powerup, which looks like a smaller variant of your own ship. When you grab it you get faster and fire more, but the enemies also become faster. - You can only take one hit. Anyone who knows?

My turn for help. Its the first nes game I ever played. It features some moustached italian plumber who went around collecting mushrooms, jumping on turtles, blob like creatures, etc... He would go into castles and jump on this giant spiked turtle and then mushrooms would talk to him. He could also get flowers which game him fire powers and floating stars which made him invincible. He could also go into pipes. I know it sounds crazy, but has any one ever heard of it?

ok I got a new one I need to have. This one might be hard. -NES -Shooter (raiden style) -You don't get tp pick any weapons or anything, but there are many weapons you find in the levels. -The first few level are "training missions" (but you can still die on them.)

Hmm, since you all have a nice little "what was that game" thread going, I guess I might throw this one in. I'm not really looking for it, but playing it again might be a bit of fun. You're a penguin and you have to run across a dangerous track to get home and answer the telephone (at least I think that's how the storyline goes). There are various obstacles that must be dodged or jumped over, including cracks in the ice. You might have played this game on one of those carts that have many many games on them...
