Title: Game I cant remember the name of or find on Google - Help?
Post by: lynwen on 22:13, 25 January 13
It was a relatively new game for the cpc 464, made in the 90s, of a cute little baby dragon in a plat form game. You could breath fire and had to collect things but I can't remember what. He had cute little wings and could fly for so long and then would get tired and fall down.
I really want to find out what its called so I can download it!

Speaking of this, I have the cassette tape for BB1, all in good condition, but the tape keeps saying read error a and b  :'(  Cant bring myself to throw it away!

I think its one of the cutest games out there, that adorable little dragon. Never mind the game, I just like to fly around and spout fire  ;D

Oh wow, I remember playing Thanatos! I don't remember it looking like such an ugly Speccy port, but I certainly remember playing it and enjoying it.

At least there's some use of rasters so it's got more than 4 colours...

Slightly smaller (but MODE 0) dragons; Spherical by Rainbow Arts (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=2025)
Finally, an AMSOFT game that's (almost) playable; The Game Of Dragons by AMSOFT (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=948)

@lynwen - ah yes, you got to go *into* Downloads and search from there, apologies for that.

@ralferoo: Thanatos was damn great. Yes, a speccy port, but an epic game nevertheless.

@tastefulmrship: damn, Spherical, had forgotten about that! Ok, scrap the work I'm doing, going to play some :)

I also played Puff, aw, ain't it a cutie, though for a dragon it surely can't fly much.

I know, but as biologist I know a bit about dragons. Things like ... for example... if they are sick, they suck out the spirit of a virgin and eat her flesh. So get get healthy again. And about the flight range, that's a serious question. But - however - we're talking about dozends of miles or km here. Only young dragons only fly couple of wing beats  ;)

No mention of "Stonkers" in a thread about the name of a game?  :o son, I am disappoint  :blank:

Also, my recent experience with dragons suggests that they're wingless and flightless when they're nice, and winged and airborne when evil.

Nice examples: Bubby and Bobby from Bubble Bobble, Spike from My Little Pony.
Evil examples: all computer-played dragons from Rainbow Islands and Parasol Stars, all dragons from My Little Pony but Spike.

Also, unicorns are the best weapons against dragons. One will make the dragon harmless, two will enslave it.

That explains why they are extinct

Either this... or... Well, according to my information they left planet earth about 500 years ago. On the other hand there is for sure not much 'dragon cure' left here :laugh:
