| Hogwash:
Hello, all. I'm trying to figure out the identities of some games from my childhood that I played in various arcades in the UK. A rough time frame would be late eighties, early nineties. 1. The first was a 2d 1v1 fighting game that seemed like a cheap imitator of Mortal Kombat. There were fatalities of some sort, and I seem to remember the characters being very plant-like, and I think I remember moves/fatalities involving flowers, vines etc. 2. This is a side scrolling shoot 'em up, in an urban setting. The main character, perhaps a cop, would say "Let's party!" at times, possibly at the level start but I'm not sure. I also remember a distinctive 'Ugh!' sound when being shot/hit. 3. A side-scroller game involving two burglars, one being short and fat and the other tall and thin. I think they had the traditional mask and striped costume get-up. I seem to remember a level (possibly used in the intro) that showed them in a skyscraper window, taking a zip-line to the next building along. Sorry for the really brief descriptions, but I only have flashes of memories to go from as I was quite young at the times I played these. I hope I am not remembering things that did not actually exist! Does anyone have any ideas of what these games could have been? Thanks. |

To narrow down when these games were in circulation do you know if mortal kombat had been released already (with regards to #1)? |

Was 2 NARC? |

Was thinking NARC for #2 as well mj147 |

#3 is " 'something' Brothers." The 'something' begins with a B, I just can't remember the name right now. It's kind of polygon-y, isn't it? The brother's bodies are made of rounded shapes? |
