Forums → Games → Help with identifying a game

Hi guys,

There's some games I really loved playing as a kid, years ago. But I've forgotten the names and I've been trying to find them again. Any help in identifying them would be much appreciated

The first type has you playing as a soldier and for each level you have to move through an area. This whole area makes up the screen (the view is from above) and there are enemies between you and the exit and you have to move and shoot them. The areas vary from a forest to a house. I've made an image as a rough representation of the game

The second type is a crusader-style strategy game. You play as a commander who has to conquer various spots on the map and defeat all the enemy forces. I've drawn a crude image of the map

You can deploy only a limited number of troops per battle. These troops can be set to appear through one of three 'circles' (diagram given below). The troops move in a straight line and can only engage with troops appearing from the adjacent circle.

Some types of troops are - swordsman, hunter (shoots bolts), royal guard (very slow). Every battle you can deploy the hero only once and to win, a number of troops must cross the other side.

Thank you
