Crossfire: any thoughts?

I was going to bid on this, but didn't get the chance...I've never heard of a game by the name of Crossfire that was slated for the NES...does anyone have any ideas, thoughts or information on this?

I dug a bit. Gamefaqs.com has a few entries for Crossfire and Cross Fire and got a lead on a Famicom title.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/data/579848.html

Cross Fire  KYG-C9  11/02/90   Kyugo  (from famicomworld)

http://www.pinkgodzillagames.com/store/popup_image.php?pID=62&osCsid=d4

from pinkgodzillagames:

Best described as a Contra clone, this side scrolling action game throws you into the middle of Vietnam with nothing more than your fists. Adding to the challenge, enemies are positioned in the background of the stages where they hurl grenades at your head. Watch out for the random helicopter fire or its "Gocchhhhaaa, Game Over."

HAL was a Japanese company and did port existing Famicom titles to the US. The notes at bottom seem to denote US version but that could mean in contrast to PAL, not as opposed to Famicom. Anyways this is my vote for what the heck it is Smiley

HAL has done arcade ports, but only of mega-hit games (Millipede, Joust, Stargate) so this rules out the only arcade game by the same name:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-WILLIAMS-CROSSFIRE-ARCADE-GAME-PROMO-FLYER_W0QQitem...

...As if the game's nature itself wouldn't do just that Smiley

Not only that but the ROM may already have been dumped, I found a proto ROM here:

http://emu-russia.km.ru/default.php?a=s&sid=nes&query=Cross Fire

and a screenshot for you all.

...

So jajaja congrats it looks like a fairly good game from here! Certainly more respectable than shooting ball-bearings at an opponent ad infinitum Smiley

Ooo, good detective work!  After I missed bidding on this one, I was going to go double force on the Hit the Ice game, but decided not to within the last five minutes.  Better to save my money for more important things.  Smiley

I'd be more eager to get my hands on Hit the Ice, seeing as it was only released for 16-bit platforms and the gameboy otherwise. Funny, even though it's commonly found for other systems (and cross fire was just famicom afaik), Hit the Ice somehow seems more unique to me. Guess that's because I focus on the NES way to much Smiley

Yeah, Hit the Ice does sounds interesting...a final version of it is released in ROM form somewhere.
