So there's this game that I cannot find any info of that I played I posted this on another site a few months back but got no guesses. Wondering if any of you could help me out:
If you guys could help me name this game I'd so be in your debt. In fact i'll send someone a steam gift for the first to find it with some proof. It's been on my brain forever and I searched klov and the internets and couldn't find anything.
Okay so this game came out probably around 1990-92. Its an arcade game. Its much like bomberman except you play a bunch of knights that use bombs and can stun the other players or make the bombs explode by whipping them with chains. Gameplay was on a grid just like bomberman. Action was faster than bomberman. And the "blocks" to blow up looked more like treasure chests, which contained powerups inside. I have no idea who made it. And the fuzzy memories of the name of the game was like Lancelot or something.
The only place I ever saw it was at the Cyberstation in Southland mall in Hayward back in 1992 when I was visiting relatives that summer. I was 13 so I wasn't like 5 and dreaming this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bonus help!:
There was a game my friend had on the Atari 16 bit computer (uh dunno XL and XE which I think were 8 bit the amiga like one whatever) that was a post apocalyptic game where it was top down, you shot green mutants that bled green and you had to find foodstuff inside crates that was green and um... soylent. More than just an action game you had to conserve fuel for your apocalypsemobile and the action sections were for searching warehouses. I played it once in 1990 on my friends Atari computer, game totally escapes me.

a steam gift? That's kind of a big range, isn't it?

ah, I kind of wish you hadn't said it was an arcade game. It sounded a lot like Super Tekkyu Fight.
Let's see...I doubt MAWs will turn up anything, but..
Let's see, it files Bomberman games as "Maze"...
Top date of 1992...
Whew, that's still a lot of titles. But if it's there, I think I'll find it pretty fast working backwards.
Knights, bombs, whips, generic JRPG treasure chests for destroyable blocks.
But it's a Japan-only title as far as I can tell. I wonder what would have prompted the owner of Cyberstation to bring it over.

At first blush, this sounds kind of like Bad Blood. But that wasn't for an Atari system. Let me check Mobygames for post-apocalyptic games...
Now, in a post-apocalyptic environment, you are set to destroy the evil Dr. A Noid, who had turned people to zombies with his artificial food called "SLU".
First, you drive through the city with your ATV, destroying enemy vehicles and avoiding mines and gun turrets. There are several buildings you can explore.
In those buildings, you walk from room to room in a gauntlet-style setting, shooting zombies and avoiding traps. You'll find ammunition, food, and hopefully the pass to the Arena.
be rather surprised if this isn't it!
tl;dr
1. Exvania
2. Road Raider
anyway, unless you tell me I'm wrong, I'm considering both of these cases MYTHBUSTED RESOLVED
