Okay, this is going from fairly obscure childhood memories, but to this day I don't know what the game is.

Here's what I can remember.

1. It was vector.

2. It may have been comprised of both a flying, and a Bezerk-type maze game (on a larger scale though). The maze part i remember for sure, the flying part may have simply been transitional animation.

3. The hero was human, and when they died, their vector skeleton was visible.

4. I think it was black and white, rather than green and black.

5. I seem to remember that it MAY have been a cocktail cabinet.

I know it's not much to go on, but I can't think of anything else right now. It would have been about 15-20 years old by now. Thanks in advance to anyone who figures it out!

Major Havoc?

It's gotta be Major Havoc, even though it was in color and all!

I'll chime in, maybe someone can identify this game from my childhood:

- I think it was on Spectrum computer

- You control a [white?] dog who walked on two legs

- Gameplay is comprised of rooms (1 screen each, no scrolling), where you have to avoid deadly obstacles/enemies and advance to the next screen... Each room seemed to have a theme and a different way to beat it. I remember one room had likes pots arranged in a pyramid shape with plants coming in/out of the pots, and another room had water droplits falling (you'd die if they touch you).

- I think the controls were just left/right and jump

That describes about every Spectrum platformer ever made and I can't think of any one that starred an upright dog in particular, unless you mistook him for a mole or something.

:lol

Well my memory is really foggy when it comes to this game, but for some reason there are few very memorable real-life events associated with that game for me... I added a little more info to my previous post, I doubt it'll help though

Major Havoc?

HOLY FUCK THAT'S IT!

OMG!

I only saw that game once when I was like 6 so I barely remember it, but damn, that's it!

I've been trying to find out the name of it for years, I'm kicking myself that I didn't ask earlier. Thanks Gaming Age! (And BenT and fennec fox!)

All too real.

That would be my guess, one of the Monty Mole games.
