    It was called Deflector.

    It came with one of the C64 mags. Either Zzap64 or Commodore Format.

    Never heard of it. Do you want to have a physical copy or just want to play it? If you just want to play it, i'm sure you could find it on google and play with an emulator

    A rom would do but I have never had any joy getting one.
    The game was a freebie so I'de guess its quite rare.

    Well your first port of call should be http://www.commodoreformat.co.uk/ and http://www.zzap64.co.uk/ I think they may even have there cover tapes online as images. I'll have a look at some c64 sites later to see if I can find it.

    Sorry for the hijack here guys, but it will save 3 whats this game threads!

    Im trying to ID a sidescroller/shooter for the C64.
    One level i remember, youre in a jungle environmnet i think, with maybe a bridge or waterfall or something, it was in daylight, and i think it was colourful.

    Anyway, i remember getting to the end of a level

    and you go up a pyramid, grey in colour i believe.

    And a pharoahs head tries to kill you, something like this except in 8 bit graphics:

    pharaoh_3.jpg


    Its sorta floating around in the air lol, i never managed to kill the ****er either!

    Is it Chelnov:Atomic Runner, by any chance ?
    Fast forward to around 8 mins and see the boss.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 382 ✭✭corkproducers


    Afraid not on both, although it could be a clone of Chelnov/atomic runner.
    Could not find a c64 realse on lemon, arnold, or c64.com.

    Sorta has the same vibe in this level:
