Hey guys,
I am trying to recall a game I played as a child over at my neighbours. It was a platformer on either the NES or SNES, I cannot remember as he had both consoles... I am leaning towards the NES as I was fairly young.
You could play as three or four different types of characters, each with their own ability. When you died you got to play the next character. I want to say it they were based on earth, fire, wind and water, but I can't be 100% sure. At the beginning, if you went left you entered a secret room where you could get extra life. If you went right, you would encounter your first enemy pretty quickly. For memory, the background was blue at the beginning because you started outside.
I don't think it was a very well known game.
I know most of you have been in the same boat trying to remember games, it can be quite frustrating!
Any suggestions?
