Hello again.
Thanks to those of you who have replied. The mechanical games site sounds great, but at the moment I'm after the earliest videogames.
I'm guessing
Shoot-'em-up = Space Wars
Driving = Night Driver
Beat-'em-up = Karate Champ
These are probably incorrect, so if anyone can throw any...
Hello,
Can anyone suggest which games were the first examples of the following genres? Game title, maunfacturer and year would be helpful.
•Beat-em-up's
•Driving/Racing
•Platform
•Puzzle
•Sport
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
The game you're describing sounds very much like Dark Adventure (Konami 1987). The title is listed on KLOV if you want to check. If you're after the rom for mame then I can point you in the right direction.
All the best matey.
Re: leslie m collins
Look, this chap is quite obviously taking the p**s out of us all (and lets face it, given how seriously some of you take all this, it's fair enough). Collins (or whatever your real name is) reveal yourself. My money is on the fact that "Mr Collins" and "Greywolf" are one...
If you can put up with the rants (some of which I actually find quite amusing) then leslie m collins is actually quite a useful person to have on the forum. I remember him from the old forum and if you can put up with his "unique" brand of humour you'll find that he knows quite a bit about...

Yes. Still, if it's the same person at least he/she knows their stuff. Just hope they take it a bit easier this time. Given the recent posts this looks unlikely.
Re: Can\'t remember this game's name
Hello,
I reckon it might be Gain Ground by Sega (1988). Then again what do I know? It's listed on KLOV if you want to check.
Cheers,
Sounds to me like Xain'd Sleena from Technos. The game was called Solar-Warrior in the US and Soldier of Light in the UK. It's listed on KLOV and can be played on MAME. Hope that's of some help.
Hello,
I think the game you're describing is called The Adventures Of Edward Randy (or just Edward Randy), by Data East 1989. It's listed on KLOV if you want to check.
Excuse the spelling (it's late). Sorry my friends, but the golden days of the arcade era are gone and they are never coming back. My Uncle used to own quite a few arcades here in the UK and by the mid-nineties the bottom had more or less dropped out of the coin-operated videogames market. The...
Hello,
It could be Truxton (Tatsujin in Japan) or Truxton II (Tatsujin Ou in Japan). As I recall the ship was round and red (although I could well be wrong). With that said it could also be one of a million other vertical shoot-'em-ups released during the same period.
Hope that's of some help.
