Quest Accepted

An interview I recently did which you can read right here has triggered a quest.

The quest is to find the name of an MS-DOS game I used to play.  Here’s everything I know about the game:

• It’s a sci-fi/futuristic 2D scrolling shooter
• It scrolls vertically, not horizontally
• The ship was red. When you won, the screen just said “SUCCESS” in big letters
• I think the only controls were the directional keys to navigate, and the space bar to fire
• You could collect bonuses by flying over them

The other games I was playing at the time (Nibbles, Rescue Rover and Gorillas) were all released in 1991, so it should be from around the same era. Here’s a great picture of Gorillas, just ‘cos it’s fantastic.

Here’s a list of suggested games it is not, which I will keep updating. Help me in my quest!

It isn’t:

Axelay, Raiden, R-Type, Tyria, Xenon
