Hey guys. I happened to stumble upon these forums while trying to find out the name of an NES game I used to play when I was just a wee lad. Seems like you guys know your stuff, so I'm really hoping you can work your magic here  . Here's what I know: The game was a side scroller that had you controlling either a tank or a helicopter (although the game could be played co-operatively having a player controlling each). The tank had the ability to jump and the helicopter could fly freely. The first boss, if I'm not mistaken, is a huge tank. And.... that's it. That's all my childhood memories retained. Please help! Thanks! |

Ah, figuring out the names of obscure NES games just happens to be our specialty!  Judging by your description, it sounds like you're talking about a game called "Silkworm" which was an arcade game that was also ported to the NES. Here's the MobyGames page, and the Wikipedia page. Let me know if it's the right game. If it's not, we'll try again. |

Hmmm.... can't say for sure. I'm not much of a forum-goer, but the community here looks great!

My old gamer name was kinda lame, so when deciding on a new one, I wanted something that really didn't mean anything. Enter Lorem Ipsum, which I'm sure most of you have heard of (http://www.lipsum.com for reference). Lorem sounded kinda girly, so Ipsum was the next best thing.
