Hi
I'd like to start out by saying, love the site and the listings. Really brought back memories for me browsing through some of those games. Since is my first post, and I do understand that I'm pretty green on this subject, I figured I would begin by asking for a bit of help.
I've been trying to remember what a certain arcade game was from my childhood. It was a standing cabinet and had a few distinct elements of game play that never left me. The rest, unfortunately, has faded into oblivion with my age and I've been looking for this game for a number of years now (15 to be more accurate).
Maybe the members of this forum, with your better expertise in classic arcade games, could help me narrow this down and finally ease my mind?
What I remember::
It was a standing cabinet, that much I can say. Also, the game was centered around a house or castle... I think the story involved a bunch of children being kidnapped and the hero (you) were fighting your way to the top to beat the boss.
The game itself, from what I remember, was top down and you moved through the house bottom to top of screen with the screen scrolling as you progressed. The weird thing about this game that always remained with me was that there were mirrors in the house (or portals) and if you kicked or punched them a child/baby would come out and you would collect the kid. If you hit the mirror enough, and collected enough children, a red one (?) would come out and collecting that one would give you temporary super power.
The only other thing I remember is that one of the bosses of the game was a a Vampire.
I know it may not be much to go on, but maybe you folks can figure this mystery game out?
Thanks in advance,
Darian
