Need help finding game

Post by Goblin »

Hi there,

i had a vic-20 a long time ago, and there's one game that i haven't been able to find anywhere. Hoping that someone might recognize it:

In my memory it was a really simple game. Basically a snake flying from left to right. If you did nothing it went down, if you pressed space (i think), the snake went up. Your goal was to navigate through a "rocky" terrain and get as far as possible without crashing.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks in advance

That could be Dragonwing.

... although - ViccyBird has very similar game mechanics. :mrgreen:

Right, thanks for the input.

Pretty sure it wasn´t any of those (especially not viccy bird, heh...). I played this game when i was a kid, like back in ´81 or so, so its old...

It's from 1984 and you control a balloon rather than a snake, so maybe it is not the game you're looking for?

No, thats not it. It was way simpler.

You flew in a cave, pressing space to go up or down, trying to avoid both roof and floor from left to right.

Thanks for the effort though.
