Help: name this game?
« on: April 24, 2012, 01:00:51 pm »
I was recently trying to recall all of the arcade games that cycled through the various arcades in my local area when I was a kid, and there is one that I'm sure I remember, but I can't remember its name. 

These details are going to be very vague and sketchy because I only played this game once or twice, so I'll be surprised if anybody can name it, but here goes. 

It was at least 2-player simultaneous.  It was kind of a beat-em-up type game.  It would have been late 80's, *maybe* early 90's.  The graphics were a very primitive "pre-rendered sprite" style.  I'm pretty sure it was set in the Wild West, but I might be confusing that with an "Indian Jones" type theme (I know the characters wore hats).  I can't even recall if you could pick up guns or not, but I know for a fact you could pick up a whip as a weapon. 

I know it was not Sunset Riders or Gun.Smoke.  Sorry for the sparse details, but any ideas?

BINGO!  That's the one.  Checked YouTube, and as soon as I saw all of the crates and barrels being smashed, I knew we had a winner. 

Thanks, I never in a million years would have come up with that answer on my own.
