Name this game and others.

Hobbes

It's old.

It's like chess only you had a number of pieces. From what I remember you had two main pieces which fired a laser.

Each other piece had a part reflective surface, so you had mirrors or shields. You had a couple of pieces with full shield so the lasers couldn't destroy, and these pieces could stomp on other pieces.

The objective was to kill the other players King either by laser or stomping on it.

So what was the game?

----
Next one, it was made I think by the people who made "The Sentinel". You were basically in a maze with moving spheres. You had to either escape or get to the center (I forget).

----
Last one, there was an electronic board game called "The Generals". Was that ever made into a game?

The middle one could be 'Icebreaker' which is on Underdogs. Sounds roughly similar, decriptions a bit bloody vague though

Found out the name of the game. It's "Gyron". No PC version ever made though.

I remember having a game of chess with lasers, and surprisingly it was called "Laser Chess".
This was a shareware game though on my old Atari, so probably isn't the game you are talking about.

That Gyron game sounds next to impossible:

Only 4 possible solutions!

But it could have been one of those ones that is so challanging that it frustrated gamers all night for months.

Thanks alot Hobbes...your after reminding me of an OLD c64 game that I cant think of the name. :mad:

Okay..sounds like what Hobbes described..but this one is really old. You had a maze of little mirrors. The mirrors were made up of '/' and '\' characthers. Each one represented a mirror that would reflect a laser in a certain directon.

The game was two-player and the objective was to destroy the enemy ship...so you strolled around in your own ship changing the angles of the mirrors so as to deflect your laser to hit the enemy ship.


Not a good description I know...

The only other thing I know is that it came bundled with a game called 'Save Me Brave Knight', incidently..which rocked \m/

:cool:

any of you remember "Moonstone" on the Amiga, with the green, blue, red and yellow Knights, trying to get the mythical keys and bring the moonstone to Stonehenge?

seamus

Moonstone! That's what it's called. I've been trying to think of that for weeks. We had a bootleg of that on the Amiga, but it kept locking up at the same point, and I loved that game, so locking up pissed me off royally. Cheers DaBounca I'll go and download it now.

So...
Was it chess then?
