Anyone knows what “fly.com” game was properly called? It featured a side-scroller airplane that was controlled with 2 buttons - pitch up and pitch down, making it loop de loop if the button was held. It could fire at air targets and drop bombs and ground targets. Always wanted it for my arcade console.
Another one I was wondering about was an Infogrames (i remember the name and logo of the publisher for some reason featuring an ant eater i think) police? game featuring a sniper element where you have to scan windows in telescopic sight and shoot before you are shot at.
And lastly there was a Prince of Persia / Another World like game that featured similar control mechanics, but also had guns.
- VincentEvans 3y agoActually, makes me wonder - is there a place on internet to ask such questions? To locate old games one barely remember a few details of?
- romanhn 3y agoChatGPT is pretty decent at it.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoI believe there is a reddit called TipOfMyTongue.

- Stagnant 3y agoSomeone already mentioned TipOfMyTongue but there is a similar subreddit specifically for games called r/TipOfMyJoyStick. ChatGPT (specifically GPT4) is also very good at these kinds of tasks. I pasted your original comment verbatim to GPT4 and these were the suggestions it gave: 1. Sopwith 2. Hostage: Rescue Mission (Originally titled "Hostages") 3. Flashback: The Quest for Identity
- VincentEvans 3y agoOh my god, 3 out of 3. Thats dope!!!
- vikingerik 3y agoThat first one sounds like Sopwith. Definitely has the looping, air and ground targets, and bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_(video_game)
- VincentEvans 3y agoThank you, thats the one!
- qingcharles 3y agoYes, definitely Sopwith! I originally ran it on a non-IBM-compatible PC, the RM Nimbus. A lot of games would thankfully just run.
- selimthegrim 3y agoCould the second one be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostages_(video_game) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostages_(video_game)
- VincentEvans 3y agoThats right! Ty!
