Hi,

Does anyone know the name of this game!

I would say its about 15 years old so a real challenge this one, I drew out a paint represenatation as I can remember it....

Need a bit more of a description OP - like what your objectives were.

Looking at it if you had to collect gold bars as well then something like Bounty Bob Strikes Back springs to mind.

hmm chuckie egg didnt have keys though.

I thought it was Chuckie Egg too..... definitely had the same colour scheme going on. You're right, though, that it didn't have keys to collect.... but I can't remember what you did have to collect although I seem to remember little piles of bird seed figuring in the game somewhere.

It's also missing the huge bird cage in the top corner of the screen too

There was chuckie egg 2, which you had to collect cocoa, milk etc. But that doesn't look like it either.

Didn't just about every game look like that back then?

Maybe it's Jumpman.

I was going to say Chuckie Egg as well, but that must be 25 years old!!

Game could be older than 15 years, I remember playing it on an old IBM system along with the likes of Digger and Styx.

Chucky Egg and Jumpman are good shouts. I'm pretty sure it was collecting keys...and I think it had purple slides?

I think I might lean towards Jumpman though

EDIT:

Bounty Bob Strikes Back as mentioned above looks close! Can't remember having to collect so much stuff though....

Thanks for the suggestions, any others appreciated!

Bounty Bob Strikes Back was an awesome game... I used to like the Suction Tubes levels.

Just found this site which shows each level...

I think I got to about Level 22 from what I can remember of those screenshots.
