Please help me name these two games...
Game 1:
It was a sideways scrolling game where you controlled a tank and a helicopter. The tank killed stuff and the helicopter carried ammo and fuel and repaired bridges. Not silkworm. I thought it was called something like Command HQ.
Game 2:
It was an indiana jones style trading game set somewhere like the amazon. You played multiplayer and had to hinder other players progress by destroying bridges or boobie trapping stuff.
Any ideas?

but
Game 2 reminds me of...
Spy Vs Spy II - Island Caper - http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0004788
If Game 2 isn't Spy vs Spy II (the only thing that doesn't fit is destroying bridges) then I'd like to know what it is, as it sounds cool!
Oh, and welcome to the forums Yeodave!
Game 1: I'm sure game one was had the words "battle", "tank", "command" or "HQ" in the title. It was available on C64 as well as it had a funky loading game of space invaders on the Commadore.
Game 2: The sabotage game was a turn based strategy trading game but it was more like you cut the rope bridge so your rival has to go the long way round but after 3 turns the bridge was repaired. It was basically played over a static map of an island, like a board game.
Cool, didn't know they made a spy vs sry II! Gonna check that one out.
Any more guesses?

battle valley, by rack-it, 1988.
OMG OMG OMG that is it! Sweet! Thanks so much! :razz:
Looking at the WoS links, it was never reviewed by SU. No wonder I've never heard of it!
It's driving me crazy.

maniacs of noise.. nuff said :)
game 2... was the plane / jeep view just a map.. OR did you have to do something on it? when you said that.. I thought of stuff like Jackal / fernandez must die / SWIV
but you did say trading.. so thought of things like taipan.. and jungle (big up all the massive ;) ) , I thought of stuff like Platoon or Flash Gordon
They made 'Spy Vs Spy 3 - Artic Antics' as well - that was pretty good too.
Pretty sure. I only had a Speccy 128k and a Commodore 16 before that.
I don't think the game involved any resource management. It was just travel around this South America / Africa location on a map, buying stuff and selling it elsewhere while trying to slow your opponent down by hindering them.
