Help in finding an old game

[DougRiddler]

Hello guys. I'm new here.

I was just looking for someone to help me about a game that I played years ago in an arcade. I'm looking for this game, but I don't know the name.

- I remember that when I was a child, I sat on a "jetski".
- The game was in first person
- The first stage on this game was in water
- In this game, you control some ship/jetski/motorboat/hovercraft
- In this game, you dodge obstacles and shoot enemies
- I think(if i'm not wrong) that is game is kinda "Rambo" style: jungle, river, guns, war...

I went for AI, for google, for stores around looking for someone to help me. That arcade place doesn't exist anymore. Can someone help me please?

Thank you so much for reading this.

My first thoughts were Hydro Thunder and Aqua Jet. I'm pretty sure Hydro Thunder has a bunch of different vehicles you can drive, but Aqua Jet is first person.

It would be helpful if you listed games you found already that aren't what you're looking for. Would be nice to narrow down some low hanging fruit :)

Also, have you tried r/tipofmyjoystick ? They're also very helpful.

How long ago we talking, as there are a lot of games which match your description. A Year range might help narrow it down.

When you say that you "sat on a jet ski", do you mean like an arcade cabinet type of thing like this?

Was this a light gun game, or where you just piloting the craft? Also, can you narrow it down to a decade you played the game in? It would definitely help ID the game.

Except for the first-person part, sounds like it could be Hydra.

Yes

I was piloting. And it was like year 2000(but this arcade could be old in that year).

My first thoughts were Hydro Thunder and Aqua Jet. I'm pretty sure Hydro Thunder has a bunch of different vehicles you can drive, but Aqua Jet is first person.

It's hard to tell you what game is not what i'm looking for. Like "i'm pretty sure it's not super mario"...
And no, it's not Hydro Thunder.


To narrow it down:
I'm SURE it's first person. (it fits cuz i sat on a "jetski")
This ship could shoot guns.
The environment is kinda "Rambo" feelings... war, jungle, water...
The console was RED.

Except for the first-person part, sounds like it could be Hydra.

And, no, it's not Hydra. It's not in first person and you don't sit on a couch like that. but this second picture of this game is very look alike.

Anyway, thank you a lot for your help!

What are the graphics like? 2D sprites or fully 3D?

It's a fake 3D environment. Like Top Gear.

Edit: the most frustrating thing is that I can't find even an close image of what the game looks like. It was told here the game Hydra. It's not this game, but the game is very look alike. This picture is very close(despite the game I'm talking about is first person).

Was the seat a fully modeled separate vehicle like the Wave Runner cabinet's, or could it have been something simpler like this?

the seat is VERY look alike this cabinet. The cabinet didn't have that seat that "tilts", it was a handle, like this one.

EDIT: "handle" is the right word? Sorry about my bad english ._.

I'm from the US. You speak better english than some Americans. Don't worry.

 

[Anoobis]

Is it a rail shooter like Wild Pilot?
