Props again for finding out what game I was wondering what the title was last time (Major Havok). Got another one for you.

Okay, here's what I remember.

The game was a multiplayer (4 or 6?), and was an isometric 3/4 perspective medieval style adventure game. It was sprite based, and had a D&D type theme. I believe you could choose your character class as well. It's a more recent game, I'd place it very late 80s, or possible even early/mid 90s.

This may be a bit less to go on than last time, but I have faith in you, GAF.

D&D Tower of Doom by Capcom?

 

[Pachinko]

was it an arcade game? the one that comes to my mind had a top down view with 3 playable characters and a fantasy theme. It sounds close but I'm not sure...

 

[Nikashi]

It is an arcade game, and it has a 3/4 top down perspective, not a side scroller like D&D. I am fairly sure there was both male and female playable characters as well. (I also THINK that the female character was a sorceress, but I can't remember).

What game were you remembering Pachinko? That sounds like it MAY be right.

Er, you're not thinking of Gauntlet, are you?

 

[Gazunta]

How many times do I have to say this...

Not that I'm much more use, but anyway. If it was 3D I'd say it was Gauntlet Legends, but it's not What direction did the game scroll in?

 

[Pachinko]

I can't think of the exact name it had some unnessacarily difficutl to pronounce word instead of a normal name. I know it was made by konami, and I could describe most of the game, I even had the rom of it for mame for a time but I just can't be arsed to recall its name..

The second boss was a giant robot with an axe, and there was a dragon knight dude has a character, you'd also get eggs in the levels to get little helper dragons , and you'd gain levels like capcoms knights of the round. but man the name.... I know a way to check though, I'll just redownload mame and check the rom list, it'll be in there.

 

[Nikashi]

Come on, give me some credit here, I know what Gauntlet is. Gauntlet is NOT late 80s/Early90s, and it's competely top down, not 3/4ths. (The game I am remembering is also sprite based, not polygonal like the more recent Gauntlet releases)

Also, the characters themselves, I remember having a kind of tall lean look to them. Hope the additional info helps.

It also pretty much scrolled in all directions, there was a lot of maze/dungeon type levels.

ALSO, one of the characters was a bard, Nyanko says.

 

[Pachinko]

Found it, Its called Gaiapolis

It was a pretty fun beat em up.

 

[Nikashi]

Hrmm. I don't think that's it. The screen seems a bit too vertical, and the characters are way different. Sorry Pach.


The perspective was also a bit more like say, Super Mario RPG.

 

[eso76]

I know that !
It was taito's Light Bringer, right ?

That one or Data East's Dark Seal / Dark Seal 2

 

[Nikashi]

Dark Seal! That's the one!

Thanks a bunch, been trying to figure this out for a while.

GAF is 2-0. Kudos, eso76!

 

[eso76]

You're very welcome : )

Check Light Bringer too (the shot i linked doesn't show for me anymore) it's pretty neat.

And there's a Dark Seal 2, released in 1992; i've never seen it but i think it's MAMEd.
