Ok you old gamers, I need to know the name of a certain game I used to play a long long time ago, probably early 80's. I haven't thought of this game in ages and it only came to mind after watching a Dreyer's Slow Churned ice cream commercial. You can watch the commercial here: http://www.edys.com/et/commercials.asp?b=104

Anyway, listen to the piano music. Sound familiar? It was an old game where you had to use your wits to get through the levels. I remember one where you are trapped in a cage which was hung in the air. You had to sway to swing the cage until it fell. The characters were small, no real detail to them (mostly dark moving images). I think the enemies were big monkeys or gorillas. You got to shoot people and they splattered but remember, this is the 80's and graphics were poor. It was a COOL game, though!

I emailed my brother and he remembers playing the game, but can't remember the name and is now NEEDING to know it too!!! Darn that commercial if I never find out what that game was! I can't even remember if it was from Sega or Nintendo console! Can anyone help me????

It would drastically help if you could remember what machine you played it on, It could be anything a PC, Amiga, Apple 2, anything! If you could tell us what machine you played it on, we could search through Gamefaqs or any number of places on the internet for it.
 
I know you said early 80s, but you made me think of this game, which came out in early '90s

Could it be Out of This World for SNES? (originally Another World on Amiga)

Although the graphics were great and innovative for the time, I suppose they might look bad to someone now.
