What Was This Game?

Indie · 7 Sep 2010 at 10:31

Morning guys,

had a bit of nostalgia come back after playing some Megaman on PS3 the other night ^^

I remember playing a game on PC which was Action/Platform/shooter game, however you would be some bloke with a selection of weapons killing different zombies throughout the levels.

Graphics were very cartoony but for the life of me i cannot think of what it was called! does anybody have any ideas?

Think we need a bit more info than that.
Was it a retail game or a simple flash game? There was a flash game posted on here a few months back where you had to kill zombies attacking a house, was kind of a flash version of Left for Dead (Top down shooter)

wasnt a flash game, had to install it etc, not sure how old it was when i played it as i was only like 9-10.
was a side on game and you'd complete the levels in a similar way to how you would.. Mario or Sonic.. so like platform i guess.

was quite a kids game IIRC, but damn fun ^^

It wasn't Gouls n Ghost or Ghost n Goblins was it? Although they are really old and may not ever been on PC.

Did you have a slingshot as your primary weapon? If so, it's on the tip of my tongue . .

I'm thinking of : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Bash

nope, the graphics was more Cartoony - i think ive thrown people a bit by mentioning megaman.

A guy i work with used to play it too, hes also beating himself up because he can't think of a way to describe it, nor of course the name ^^

It could well of been Earthworm Jim, however i have a feeling it was somethign different, BUT extreamly similar in gameplay!
