Hi all,
This game has been on my mind for a number of years. I took to the internet today with little luck until I stumbled on this forum! Hoping someone out there can help!
I THINK the game was on PC (it COULD be Genesis or even NES...not 100%) in the 1990s. It was a vertical shooter that had a 2.5D look to it. I remember the ground being greenish-blue grids that had cool geography you could fly over. For instance, the middle channel of the level might have a path that varied in the level, but the sides would be elevated. Your ship could traverse the channel, or the side regions - you weren't restrained to the middle. There were turrets, and possibly other ships.
And for some reason, I remember there being a duck involved somehow (maybe a duck pilot or something??)
EDIT: After doing some more research, I found Captain Skyhawk (NES 1990) which is awfully familiar to what I'm remember. Does anyone know if there were any games that came AFTER this possibly on PC/Genesis? I didn't have an NES, so I'm not sure why I would remember wanting this for a gift.
