    Default name these arcade and c64 games for me

    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.
