Tip of my Joystick - Find games by describing it.

This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

If you want to post, use this syntax: [Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms

You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.

If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

Rules:

  1. One game per post
  2. Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
  3. Try using this template when posting:

Platform(s):

Genre:

Estimated year of release:

MODERATORS
 

Platform(s): PC

Genre: 2D top down shoot 'em up

Estimated year of release: 2002

Graphics/art style: Probably pixel art, I'm pretty sure the background was just black with stars flying by.

Notable characters: Your red(?) space ship collecting chicken legs

Notable gameplay mechanics: You are in a red(?) space ship in space trying to order chicken legs (drumsticks?), but the space KFC or whatever drive-through is all out. So you just floor it and shoot your way through the galaxy and collect chicken legs.

This may or may not have been a browser game.

This looks really familiar. I'm not sure. If it is, my memory on the dialog was way off. In a way I like my version better. I really thought it was a red ship and there was really cool music playing in the background as you collected the chicken legs. If nobody points to a chicken invaders inspired game, I'll mark this as solved.

I'm glad you've found your game. Can you change the title according to the sidebar?
