On May 23rd, 2005 I originally posed this question on Infendo.org, I mean .com:
I do have a question for all you faithful readers out there; a little gaming nostalgia, and frankly, an answer to my fading memory.
Do any of you remember a game for the NES where you play this robotic guy that can reverse gravity with the click of a button? I can’t remember the name to save my life but I remember it was really good. The dynamics between changing the gravitational pull in mid jump made for some great platforming.
Any ideas?
Help me Infendo Nation. You’re my only hope…
That's a hard one. The only one coming to mind is Metal Storm. I never played it but remember reading about it in Nintendo Power and even had a poster of it up in my room.
metal storm. one of my favorites ever. pressing select would make you reverse gravity.
I remember that game! I used to have it.
In Europe I think this game was called Radical Gravity or something similar
yup that's rad Gravity.. at least in Europe
Metal Warriors — 16 MEGS!!! 🙂
Metal Storm. I actually have the cartridge and I haven't had an NES in ages. But, if and when I do get access to one, I will blow in that cart and play play play.
Or just buy it on VC or something.
It's Low-G Man
Probably not Rad Gravity, that had only one planet level that was upside down. I liked that game, I'd buy it if it crops up on VC. Wasn't Activision the publisher? *thinks*
That Low G Man game you mentioned was really good also. I got it in the budget bin back in the day. You could jump like 3 1/2 screens high when fully powered up. And you could walk on the ceilings if you got into one of those spider looking vehicles. Great game. Check this one out too Blake.
