Arcade game:

platform game- demo shows barbarian going around, enemies with spears, and a tarzan-swing-over-lava screen where he drops onto a ledge and the wall starts to push him so he will fall in the lava.

c64 games:

platform game- guy in space suit runs and jumps around, i think inside buildings, can get different weapons. kinda bland colors. that's all i can remember. not megaman.

platform game- you are this thing with a spring on it's butt and boxing gloves. kinda like the enemy in bubble bobble. really bright and electric level graphics.

edit: thanks for helping me find the spring game above, "thing bounces back".

thanks

Sounds like most 80s platformers...gonna throw out Dan Dare, although maybe that was Spectrum and UK-only...there's also Dash Galaxy, although he doesn't really get weapons (again, might be NES only). Wish I knew my C64 better...

Not sure about Dan Dare, at least not the first one anyway as he didn't jump at all in that one.

"Thing on a Spring" and "Thing Bounces Back" for sure... however, one of them was called "Coil Cop" in the US, which is I'm sure why he doesn't recognise the name ;)

Could the other C64 game be "Arc of Yesod" or "Nodes of Yesod"?

YES, it is thing bounces back, which was released as coil cop.

as for Rastan, i don't think the arcade game is Rastan. Does Rastan have tarzan swings over lava? I was able to get modestly far on the PS2 port and didn't see anything like that.

thank you all for the replies so far.
