"Supernova"

Ok, there's an old game - by the graphics I'd say it was an 80's game - and I swear it was called "Supernova." There IS a game called Supernova, but it's a text-based game.

The game I'm talking about is a shooter arcade game. You fly through space, shooting at various other spacecraft that come your way, and at the end of a level, a huge, green, flashing, diamond-shaped (sort of) thing comes hurtling towards you (I think that was the "Supernova"), and you must destroy that. It was a really cool game, but I can't find any trace of it in the internet. Any ideas?

DOS, it was a DOS game.

I remember a similar game named "Novastorm"

DOS навсегда, do you remember a release year of the game?

And huge, green, flashing, diamond-shaped (sort of) thing like this?

 

DOS навсегда, take your Supernova and always use google for searching.

И вообще косить под иностранца с русским ником, это как минимум странно. Так что делай выводы).

 

kreol, так та, которую я ему дал она и есть текст бэйсед. Так что все нормально, пусть забирает. Кстати глянь в его профиль, на форуме тролль завелся и очень толстый, насколько я понял.

 

Ты посмотри сам профиль, особенно дату регистрации. Мы имели возможность понять кто это.

 

kreol, ok, bro. As you wish.

 

If you want to post in Russian, maybe you should do so in a more appropriate section:

And thanks for directing me to a game I already said wasn't the one I was looking for. Next time, maybe you should read posts more carefully. Have a nice day.

No, it was nothing like that. The point of view was from behind your ship moving straight forward through space. You could move side to side and I think up and down, possibly forward and backward, and shoot. Judging by the graphics, I would have to say it was a late 80's or early 90's game. The "final boss" thing was like a huge emerald that flashed between green and a greenish white (if I remember correctly) and came at the end of the level after fighting all the other little things that came along.

Novastorm is similar but the graphics are too fancy and I don't believe the game I'm looking for had that elaborate HUD (Heads-Up Display - all the stuff around the border of the screen).

For the graphics, if I'm recalling right, think Carrier Command (http://www.mobygames.com/game/carrier-command)

Graphics were about like that.

Does this look familiar?

Or it was Carrier Command style (means 3d first-person flight simulator)?

 

DOS навсегда, could it be Terra Nova?

Not exactly the same graphics as Carrier Command but who knows, maybe I made a lucky guess...

 

To the two above: No, it's not those. The game is 3rd person, from behind the ship as it flies forward ("into" the screen if you will) through space. And James, no, those graphics are far, far too fancy.

Main question: what platform? DOS?

If you already tried this - well, nevermind.

 

DOS навсегда, game that you are searching for is called Supernova and developed by DatawareGames. It is a shareware game.

 

Oy, that's it right there! Thanks ThisSuXX. You know, I have this bloody game on Floppy disk somewhere I think, but I was hoping to find it somewhere. Do you happen to know where it can be downloaded at?

Oh hey, never mind, found the download through the image link there. Now let's hope it will work...

Yay it does! Lol, woooow... I'm amazed you were able to find it. You should get some sort of forum award for being able to find really, really obscure games. Thanks!

This game is soooo goofy... lol.
