Question
QUESTION: I am looking for the title of a old game it was a flying game and the first stage you had to get pass a lot of bubbles, and on one stage there was a plant that shot out fire balls, and there was another stage with jellyfish that you had to get pass, does anyone know the name of this game?

ANSWER: Gday Rochelle,

Well you kind of got me alittle stumped, flying game with Jellyfish.

First Guess would be E.V.O Search for Eden (Although technically not a flying game.  But you do start off as a fish shooting at Jellyfish, with bubbles.  Evolve on the next stage with plants attacking you.)

Could also be Super Metroid (Although again not a flying game.  Has everything but the flying.)

Last guess probably one of the Parodius games.  (which has a lot of that general weirdness.  Probably the best bet.)

I could come up with a heap of other games but none where flying (If it was not flying I would say one of the Adventure Island games).

QUESTION: I remember this game had Kanomi on it and there was a plane with a single beam shooting out of it on the cover I think it was one of the early nintendo games does this ring any bells?

Answer
Well that helps out and narrows it down (There are only 5 Konami Shooter games).....
