Late era Speccy platformer? I do seem to recall a game which had some large and detailed characters jumping about. Hmmm...

Did you have to jump about and release fairies? Is it Stormlord?

No and no.

Clue: Your weapons in this game were bombs, which you picked up, and a nut based weapon.

did it play as single screen levels or was it of the scrolling screen/large level type platform game?

Cool Croc twins? for single screen type

James Pond? for scrolling screens

So just take the single answer for the type of platform game it actualy is - so i'm only making one guess, technicaly speaking, if that makes any sense

That's a cunning way to shotgun, but both wrong.

IIRC it scrolled.

I get the feeling you and your spectrum games are an equaly bad habit as me and my Atari

Bomb Jack II? (the first didnt scroll but maybe the second did?)

Bombs and nuts...? And a speccy game in the early 90's? Was it released for the C64 and Amiga?

No. Who would use a nut-based weapon? I'll help, it was a peanut.

There was a game with a squirrel called Nuss, but I remember very little else. I didn't enjoy it.

You're an animal, but bigger than a squirrel. That was a clue, I wasn't just talking to DoY.

Well the only thing I'd associate with peanuts is a pachyderm, but can't remember any games with a betrunked hero.

This was enough to google the game, so I'm out of contention for this one. In addition to this, not only have I never played it, but have not even heard about it.

Good luck to everyone else.

It is a little tricky, but I thought the players here would have got it with such blatant clues.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

well it seems even Cap is struggling with this one - so that leaves you as the person most likely to guess it(on current form)

I've got a feeling i'm going to have heard of this game when its revealed.......frustrating

The game 'Nutz' seems to spring to mind, but all i can remember about it is that it was a platform game.

out of intrest how much bigger than a squirrel is your character(using real world scale)?

It has to be an elephant, doesn't it?





Or a monkey, possibly.

We are, of course, playing name the game, not name the animal. So?

I think there are enough clues. Just in case it might help it was a Codemasters game.

Did I give up before? Damn, I think I did. But I remember it now! Can I still play?

Oh, just in case of any doubt: Did the game feature an eponymous animal?

Yes. As long as you haven't googled it (which by now must be very easy) your answer is valid.

I must wait until all others have tried first. Otherwise it would be unfair, and people might accuse us both of using this important and fun thread to increase our (your) postcounts.

Well I didn't know the whole title, had posted quite a bit in this thread, and wasn't even sure it was right.
It was the Codemasters bit that gave it away really, even though I had already decided the hero was na elephant.

Clue 1) You had to jump about and catch fairies!

Proper first clue: Another platformer, on Amiga, ST and Amstrad.
