SeriousJosh Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Hey guys. I'm looking for a game from my youth I can barely remember. I think it was an arcade game around 1990 and I remember there was a candle burning horizontaly on the bottom of the screen. I think it was a time limit of sorts. The setting was dark. Maybe a graveyard? I liked Castlevania for NES a lot and that is why I liked this game too. Does any of that ring a bell? Any help would be appreciated!
SkyHighGam3r Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Ghosts 'n Goblins? or Ghouls 'n Ghosts?This sounds familiar to me as well.... gonna bug me now too lol
SeriousJosh Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 It's not Ghosts 'n Goblins. That one doesn't have the candle on the bottom screen... I thought I was crazy at first but my brother remembers this game too!
lassic Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Maybe Genpei Touma Den. This has a lifemeter with candles. But that was only released in Japan as far as i know.
SeriousJosh Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 It's not "Genpei Touma Den" and also not "Bonze Adventure". Both have those vertical Candles. But I'm looking for one long horizontal candle burning from the right to the left...

I KNOW I've seen what you are talking about with the horizontal candle though....
SeriousJosh Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 I feel you man... I'm looking for this game the whole weekend now... it's crazy. I start to think I'm looking in the wrong place... Maybe it was a console game? PC game? I wouldn't rule anything out at this point...
JoyStickKilla Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 I bet if you asked on the arcade controls forum someone would know if it is an arcade game.

SkyHighGam3r Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 LMAO tip of my joystick sounds like something else, but I get the gist.If you find out elsewhere, come back and tell us 'cause it's still driving me insane.

SeriousJosh Posted September 3, 2016 Author Posted September 3, 2016 None of the mentioned games rings a bell. But I'm pretty sure it was a side-scroller like Ghost&Goblins or Castlevania...
SubZero Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 There is a better way to search for you're game it takes time though. Add all MAME videos to your're mediaplayer and scroll through them untill you find the game you are looking for. Thats the way i always do it.
xALPHAxOMEGAx Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 can we really call ourselves gamers if we cant find out the game from a vague description from childhood tsk tsk jk now its killing me i need to know too lol -Your Friendly Neighborhood Scrub HyperSpin Community United HyperSpin United Spreadsheet xALPHAxOMEGAx Universal Theme "DarkSide" (W.I.P) on hold or discontinued idk Vector Logos, Consoles, Controllers, Handhelds Project
