Remember This?

Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?

This shouldn’t take too long. For me, this was the first game I ever truly mastered. It helped that, at the time, my parents owned a corner shop and this was the cabinet that lived there. I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.

Good luck!

    reminds me of Wanted on the sega master system, but with better graphics? Maybe the arcade version?

    It looks like West Bank, an old Gremlin Graphics game.

    I know the game, but can not remeber the title. It was about bank robbers (entering the doors) and you had to shoot them but not everyone was a bank robber that came in the doors :]

    It was an arcade classic at my corner store. The counter on the robber (once the door opened) was your reaction time I think.

    At a guess it was called ‘hold-up’ or ‘Bank robbery’.

    Oh man, Bank Panic!

    I used to play that game at the old bowling alley before it closed down.

    Oh, I know this one quite well: Bank Panic. I’m not certain which version it is, guessing Arcade? The Sega Master System version was one of the first four video games I ever owned (The others being The Ninja, Ghostbusters, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World).

    I’ve got no clue, but it’s interesting how the thumbnails of these screenshots get completely mangled on the front page of the site :P

      I went and used a PNG instead of a JPG. There’s the rub.

    Bank Panic for Master System? I’m pretty sure that’s it. I remember playing it a fair bit a while back! I think there was an arcade version of it too, so this might be it.
