Hi all, I want to remember the name of an Arcade game, I don't remember many things, but if anyone has played this game maybe can help me:

I played the game in 1986/87, the Graphics Quality is something like 1942 or Tiger Heli, so I suppose the game was made in 1985/86. The graphics used gray tones

In the game we control a ship, but I don't remember what happened when we press the button, the objective was to put our ship out of the the enemies way, and the enemies objective is just persecute us trying a colision with our ship, the enemies didn't shoot.

The game hadn't any kind of scroll, and everything (we and enemies) just move on the screen, nothing go in or go out of the screen.

At beginnig our ship appeared at center of the screen, and the enemies around it (about 10-20 at first level), at first level the enemies were an gray circle with a colored piece at center, and the size is similar a marble.

thanks.
 
No, it wasn't Gyruss, Tempest or Time Pilot.

I forgot to say: Our ship and enemies move in all directions. And another thing, the game is not famous as Gyruss or Time Pilot, a few people know it.

thanks.
 
No it's not Sinistar.

No things go in or go out the screen, and there isn't a map in the game. Just the screen with our ship and the enemies.

The game is not in the space. I think (I´m not sure) the scenery is a giant ship and we are in it.

Thanks.
 
No it's not Star Castle nor Cosmic Chasm. The game is not so old (it's probably 85/86). And the scenery is not the space

Thanks.
 
Not sure if this fits your description as the enemies do shoot, but possibly Xevious? The enemies were discs with flashing red orbs in the center on the first stage and were indeed marble sized.
 
No it's not Xevious. The enemies donn't shoot. And it's not a famous game. A few people know it, I just saw and play the machine in one place.

Thanks.

Did you shoot the enemies?

How was a level finished?

The game you're describing (no scroll, gray circle with colored piece) sounds awfully primitive for '85/'86.

Check Drakton:

You might be misremembering, or something. Are you in the US?

Any other details?
 
"Did you shoot the enemies?

I'm not sure how finished the level. The enemies don't shoot (I'm sure). I don't remember if we shoot, or if after a time we pass the level.

But I remember, the main objective is escape from the enemies, because the enemies try to colid with our ship. And to escape from them, we move our sheep in the screen. The enemies (other ships) persecuted us as zombies.

The graphics was so good or a little better as Tiger Heli or 1942 (85/86).

It's not Drakton nor Space Dungeon, the graphics were much better!

Thanks.

In a video arcade in Brazil (here is called "fliperama"). But the machine was imported from USA or Japan, we didn't produce arcades here in that time.

Thanks.
