    Default Need help naming an old game PLZ!!!

    Ok...this may be a tough one. This game was in an Aladdin's Castle arcade inside Regency Mall in Racine, WI around 1984 ish. I was only 4 or 5 at the time so my memories are spotty at best. Infact I remeber very little about the actual game play but I do remeber watching the game screen alot in it's idle state and I seem to remember it being very cartoon-like (almost like Dragon's Layer level animation). It was a woman's voice describing bad things happening to friends of hers and the most destinct image was a mans face melting rather graphically. It was a very disturbing image which is why I was intimidated to actually play the game. This may just be ramblings of a mad man, but I swear it has haunted me for nearly 30 years and I am ready to face this game if it exists, please help.

    Well there are a ton of laserdisc arcade games. I can remember Space Ace off the top of my head, and I think there was another fantasy-themed one that wasn't part of the Dragon's Lair series.

    There used to be a whole page dedicated to them. Anyone know where it is?

    Is this it- it being the page dedicated to Laser Disc Video Games, not the actual game?

    Good luck finding the game, Kosstheboss. Strange how something so fleeting can impact our psyche for so long, eh? Perhaps if you track down the game, play it, and beat it, you'll exorcise the memory.

    Bega's Battle. The face-melting stuck with me for years.

    If you want to re-live the fun of that game in your own living room it is fully playable (face melting and all) via the DAPHNE emulator!

    OMG!!! You guys are my @#%!ing heros!! I can not tell you how long I have had that image stuck in my head and being so young I could never be sure if it was an actual game or just a bleed over of some other media I had seen. I can't wait to get my hands on this and take it down. Seriously...thank you.

    So what was the deal with the face-melting, anyway? Was it explained during the game at all?
