Anyone else played it? For me it's another of those games that brings me straight back to the days of my first 386. Especially the intro tune...
The engine is very nifty too, for a game written for DOS in 1988. The terrain has varying heights and angles, and there are tunnels that require crafty surfish maneuvers in order to acquire powerups.
I was never very good at it, but I shall complete it someday...

Yeees, I liked that one very much. I still got it running in my dosbox folder, but it usually runs way too fast, so I have to slow down the system.
It is actually very hard I think, but most of those shooting games were, or got very hard at some point, and since you couldn't save, I never made it through the whole game.

You crack me up little buddy!
For a change I know the game you are talking about. Didn't play it myself, at least not more than a quick try, but I watched my cousin(s) playing it. Agree, the engine seemed cool.

AUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH! >:Captain Comic was fun. I just recently beat it for the first time (there's SO many bad guys in this game...) As well as the second one.
I hate you shy birds! I hate you so very much! I had to beat it by spending 25 minutes in a 'safe spot' at the start and getting lots of points and exploiting a bug in the game to shoot two blasts at once.
As for star goose, I did once play some game involving launching a chicken into space, it had something to do with Space Quest, though I forget the details.
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
