Is there a community on Lemmy that can help finding a game I played years ago.
The year was 1984 or 1985, last year of High School. The computer was an Apple 2e The game was a Raiders rip off with a guy in a fedora looking for treasure. It was monochrome green. I remember you had to place dynamite and run to blow through walls to get deeper inside a pyramid.
It was loaded on 5 1/4" floppy disks.
I guess it would need an emulator to play now.
Well I hit the right era, didn’t expect it to be that old! The game you describe does sound very familar, I’msure I’ve played it…now you’ve got my aging memory working away!
I was playing on Sinclair spectrum and BBC b computers in the 80s but this kinda rings a vague bell. I’ll ask my brother and get back to you if he remembers anything

Describe the game
check my edit for description.
Raptor: Call of the Shadows?
Is it battletoads?
No but thanks
Could’ve been minecraft
I have never played Minecraft. I played 7 days to die so close enough?
Horace goes skiing?
I live in a snowy place so I never liked winter games. Maybe if they had one about shoveling out your vehicle.

Its certainly a very common theme. Can’t lose with pyramid treasure hunts.
Xenon 2?
Megablast!
Not Megablast. I edited the question to describe the game.
No but > Xenon 2 kind of reminds me of Galaga.
I don’t know Gaaga, Xenon & Xenon 2, Megablast was my Atari ST era. I remember the soundtrack/music being very good for that time.
Galaga, it was kind of a fancy Space Invaders.
It was Duke Nukem Forever
No but I enjoyed that game, although the catch phrases got on my nerves pretty quick.
Duke Nukem Sometimes: The Prequel
Trog
I have never even heard of that one > Trog
Faxanadu, or Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest.
Much earlier. check my edit for description.

Second Sight
Not> Second Sight but I will see if I can get it.
I didn’t see the expanded post. Was it Montezumas Revenge? I played it on Atari
No it wasn’t > Montezumas Revenge Someone suggested Aztec.
Aztec? https://classicreload.com/apple2-aztec.html
I’m wondering if there was an Aztec2 cause the name rings a bell. Thanks, I’m going to check who developed this but it looks abandoned.
Okay I’ve watched a couple of vids and it might be this.
In the same genre but must have come after this because it was much better quality.

Thanks
