Anyone good at ID'ing old arcade games from bad descriptions?
#1
Hi,

Just getting round to installing a few games on the HTPC and can't for the life of me remember 2 of the games I used to play in the arcade as a kid, but have some poor descriptions if anyone can help ID them Smile

1: is a side scrolling shooter like R-Type but with a different ship (like a fly suit) and you Fly through cities (from left toright) in a blue and gold fly suit shooting stuff and upgrading etc...

2: NOW FOUND, IT WAS WORLD RALLY... was a 2.5d scrolling raceer called Toyota Corolla Challenge or something. It had snow levels, night levels you could only chose the corolla. I've searched online and for the life of me can't find any referecne to this game, leading me to believe i must have the name wrong? The gfx on this game were great, it had head lights for night races and had an intro video of a corolla jumping toward the screen and freezing in mid air and then the name was displayed?

If anyone can help with these I'd really appreciate it, for the life of me I just can't find them anywhere...

Thanks in advance,
Pat~
