Fretwobbler Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I'm looking to find out what a game was called. It was an R-Type style shooter however when you played two players it was possible for both players ships to join together to become a more powerful craft. Can anyone help?

NE146 Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 when both players joined ships, how was it controlled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 was it a side-scroller like r-type or a top scroller like 1942? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent game. I had it at one time then sold it. I should get it again and convert it to JAMMA so I can play it in my JAMMA cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Couldn't you join ships in Blasteroids also??? It seems to me you could but I cant remember how??? Maybe you needed two people playing??? Well its not a side-scroller but still I always enjoyed it! I'll have to give Sidearms a try... I always liked games where you could join up and kick ass!!!! Remember the first time you got back your captured ship in Galaga!!!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Man I must be out of it but I don't remember two players joining up in Sidearms at all. But then again all I have of that game is the TG-16 version, and I only had one controller with it. So there you go I should try out the arcade version in mame! yeah that's what I'll do...
