We have a winner.
Deathwish III
Published by Gremlin Interactive
Just something relaxing about shooting hookers and old ladies, and not being arrested.
One of the key fun parts of the game, was that you could keep a target "dancing" up in the air, as long as you continued to have ammo for your machine gun.
OK... so it was a bit shallow and crap.

Cap has a special style. He gives his clues in rhyme. However, me may be out of rhymes since he has won lots of games recently.

Alright I got one. I checked the list at the start so it's still 'fresh'. It was released in the mid 80's for various 8-bit computers( C64, spectrum, amstrad).
It's really an odd one, so to keep it simple at the start
This game was a sequel, were the former villain took the part...

Nope, another clue...
You could say it has something to do with halloween
And bouncing around, all over the screen...
Try to google that!

This is sounding familiar, but a couple of more nuerons need to remake the connections.

Trap Door? I haven't heard that name in awhile. No, it isn't Trapdoor nor it's sequel but you're moving in the right direction.

The game in question is probably Cauldron II. The main character is a bouncing pumpkin and it has to collect some items jumping around the platforms (the age of platform games). I liked two witches in the upper corners of the screen laughing sinisterly whenever you die

I think I have played this game for a total of, like, 5 minutes.
But yeah...it's probably it

I didn't like the game either
The witches soon became boring. And platforms are not really my field if you know what I mean

That's it! It is indeed Cauldron II and it was fiendishly difficult even with infinite lives poke.
Ljcvetko has the floor.

It’s time to share with you people my very first multiplayer experience.
I played this game with my friends occasionally on my C64 during the eighties.
You are in the role of a fighter pilot and your goal is to fend off an alien invasion shooting at some sort of alien birds. You can fly in all eight directions using joystick, but you have limited fuel. From time to time, a supply plane flies over you and you have to catch the fuel it drops.
This is probably enough to guess if you have played the game.
This is an old game, from 1983, so I don’t expect correct answers from young punks like Dr. Spike.

Does it also have something to do with protecting skyscrapers (or trying to destroy them in the process)?

I used to level them very early on to have more manoeuvring space.
But the best effect was when an egg hatched into a crawling alien who ate the lowest floors of the skyscrapers and they collapsed

Yeah, that game was pretty cool at the time. I played it a few years later once we got a C64. As it luck would have it the name escapes me for the moment.

Naaah...where would be the challenge? Besides, I have a good idea DrSpike might know it as well.
