Does anyone know this game?

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 12:22 pm

So, there is this game I used to play years ago, back in the early 2000's.

It was a 2D Platform game where you played some sort of 'elf' (?) with green hair and I am not sure but I thought he also had two antennae.

One of the bosses you faced seemed to be some sort of Evil Peter Pan lookalike.

Does anyone know which game I'm talking about, otherwise I will provide more details when I remember them.

I dunno about any bosses, but it's a 2D platformer and the character has green hair and two ribbons (I think) that could be the antennae you remember.

No, thanks a lot for your reply but that's not it. :(

It's weird because I have been looking for this game for years now and there doesn't seem to be a single trace of it.

This is some more info about it (copied from another forum where I made a post about it.)

This is an MS-DOS Game
The game was a 2D - platformer that looked drawn. You played a human or elf male with green hair and 2 small antennea on his head. The first level was a pirate ship (and the captain looked a lot like the one from Robin Hood.) No this is not a Robin Hood game as you might think. Weirder still is that you could climb up a vine or something from the ship and cross over into land. I do not remember much of this level but it had someone resembling Robin Hood as a boss. Other levels included a giant beanstake and some arabian like castle. There was also a levitating (queen) boss that waved kisses at you that turned into heart-shaped projectiles that damaged you when struck. (There was also this fairy that would help you and some sort of inventory from which you could pick various powers like stopping time.) I also remember fighting wolves that could breath fire and stood on their two backlegs. I do not know when it was released but I probably played it between 2000-2003.

Nothing meant anything to me until I read this. I am sure I have played this game, or one with the same boss, but I can't remember what it is.

Hey thanks :biggrin: now I am sure that this isn't just my mind messing with me.

Remember something about Wolves walking on two legs and breathing fireballs?

Bumped because I care, I played this game around the time I played Rayman Gold which came out in 1997 so you can probably forget about the early 2000's part.

Thank you, but still haven't found it :(

It's really weird because that isn't the first of those lists I've scrolled through. I remember the tons of pages long list with games from 1990-2000.

Not much lol, I have the game in my loft and it's one of the few I enjoyed svcking at when I was younger.
Green and elf-like kinda made me instantly think of him, since I saw the game last week when gutting the loft :biggrin:

Nice and nope, it wasn't wrong. http://rlv.zcache.com/i_love_bragging_hat-p148592213961065066z8nb8_400.jpg However I still have my SNES system with Zelda: A Link to the Past. Works too!

I'm usually pretty good at finding mystery games, but this one's got me stumped. Any more clues or info?

Yeah it is really weird.

More info (again copied it from another forum where I asked about this game.)

* Background: I played it at home and I still remember quite a bit of the gameplay.
* System: MS-DOS
* Year: Probably around 200-2003
* Perspective: 2D Platformer
* Art style: I seem to remember that it looked drawn and that the characters were pretty screen-filling. (I mean that they were pretty big drawn if you know what I mean.)
* Environment: The first level was a pirate ship that had a captain as a boss. (I thought he resembled captain hook but I am not sure.) You also had a level with Robin Hood as a boss (or someone who looked like him it was pretty weird.) Other levels included an arabian nights styled castle and a giant beanstake. I also remember wolves that could breath fireballs and stood on their two back legs. Another boss I remember was some sort of queen that levitated in the air and waved kisses at you. That became hearts and were used as projectiles. The player character had two antennas on his head. (Male) There was also an underwater level.
* Mood: I do not quite remember.
* Genre: 2D Platformer. Might have contained small RPG elements but I was too little back then to be sure.
* Gameplay: 2D Platformer again but I do seem to remember that you could open a small inventory and take out items like a watch that slowed time. (Not sure)

:nope:

Was there some obscure different thing to run games besides MS-DOS back in those days?

The main character was wearing http://69.174.246.169/Products/Scottish-Hunk.jpg by the way. Or rather, this type of clothing because it wasn't Scottisch at all, it was just this model.

MS-DOS wasn't really used for any games past 1996, are you sure it wasn't a Windows game?

Nope, but since it wasn't on Sheogorath88's list it probably is.

Which means that it will be even harder to find.

I immediately thought of this game, but could not remember the name.

So an elf with green hair and alien antennas, who isn't Scottish but wears a tartan outfit? :blink:
