I used to play this coin-op game years ago at the local arcade, back in 1984 (or so). It was an up right cabinet game, it had a character that could shoot a stream of water that followed the wall paths. It had kind of a Pengo layout, looking top down, like a maze.

This has been driving me nuts. I'd love to find it for 8-bit, etc. to play again.

Thanx!

I can't think of anything like what you described. I bet Retrorussel will know when he reads this post. He is really good at remembering the old school stuff.

Thank you soooo much, I loved this game in the 80's but haven't seen it for years. This game would make a great port to Atari 8-bit!

NE146, given your avatar's notariety, I find it humourous that you are the one to field the question about Guzzler. :rolling: :rolling:

Gah! I knew it by description but NE146 beat me to it. Thanks for the props Mixy, I did indeed know it. I played it a bit back in the day; it had a strange backstory that not many gamers would figure out (the hero is a drunk).
