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!

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 10:11 AMI 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’.

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

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 10:26 AMOh, 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).

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 11:26 AMBank 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.
