Hello Everybody!

I´m looking for one of my favorite games from my childhood.
Its a game that plays in space i think on a kind of space station, its 2D and a Sidescroller, you play an astronouth and to open some of the doors there you have to solve number puzzles.
I think there was a kind of shield you could activate to prevent dmg, and on some part of the space station there was a kind of poison that dealt steady dmg to your hero.
I think there were some kind of weapons you could switch between with the number keys.
badly thats all i can remember, would be really cool if somebody knows the name of this game

Greetings
Valum

Sry its not Abuse, the gameplay was way slower and the game was more colourfull and wat was very significant were theese number puzzles that you had to solve to open some doors, the looked like
------------------------------------
| 45 65 12 87 01 45 21 88 ?? |
------------------------------------
and you had to solve the last number, just an example for this

Could it be super solvers: outnumbered?

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.

You might want to try the "tip of my joystick" thread on reddit.

Any idea which year you played it first, and if it was released that year or so?

For now, from your original description, I can only imagine EGA-ish (16) colours, but couldn't point it out... any idea if it was EGA or VGA or even CGA?

It's a long shot, but could it be Starblade?

(It's an older game, though.)

I doubt this is one of them, but anyway, another Space themed 2D game : Murders in Space.

I know this is a very old thread but would perhaps the game you're looking for be Phylox?
