Congrats to wagzy who managed to guess yesterday’s super tricky (and vague) Remember This. It was Big Top. Nice job!
I seriously don’t know how I can make this more difficult, but I’m gonna try! Good luck with today’s effort.

Looks a little like Scorched Earth to me.
I thought the same
Elevator Action?
Yeah, it looks like the intro when he slides down the cable.
Except that the background was greay in the arcades, and black on the NES, so… maybe not?
Mercenary.
Bad Dudes, because “the President has been kidnapped by Ninjas” is all the plot you need
well, thats enough story for me. lets get em!
Missile command
Gorilla
That was my first thought – but perhaps that would be too easy.
Biker Mice from Mars!
I think Casual Prolix got it with Elevator Action, but I am going to guess Rygar. If for no other reason then the fact I spent 3 days of not shutting my NES off just to beat the dame game because there was no save or password system
Artillery
EDIT:
Could also be Tank Wars
Scorched Earth
For sure. That’s a tracer round next to a tank with it’s deflector shield active.
This was the answer far too recently for it to have come up again.
Yeah, I’m not sure. Just looked up some images and they usually have a gradient background.
Gradient backgrounds was an option but not universal. I think it wasn’t even supported in older versions of the game or on particularly old PCs.
Missile command
Missile Command.
Missile Command
that would be too easy 🙂
Bionic Commando
Scorched earth or MS Paint
Grapple

QIX?
Frontier: Elite
Starglider or Carrier Command.
Not because it is, but because I want to dig out the ST and play those games again with all of their chunky vectors.
Me trying to draw anything with a straight line in MS paint.
Going out on a limb. The sentinel.
Frontier: First Encounters
Grand Theft Auto – Vice City
Alpha Waves?
Line Rider
