Need help identifying arcade games
CodeWhite:
First one sounds like tattoo assassins. It was a mortal kombat clone that was put out to test but not manufactured.
Second one is 100% E-Swat. In the first level once the main character (a cop) gets out of the cruiser he states "Hey lets party"
Last one could be Bonanza Brothers?
Hogwash:
E-Swat must definitely be the second one. Haha, "Hey, let's party!". My dad used to keep repeating that, as well as the "urgh" sound. Isn't nostalgia great?
It's looking about 90% certain that the 3rd one I was thinking of is Bonanza Brothers. The "brothers" in the name is definitely familiar. I haven't seen the skyscraper/zipline part anywhere though, and that's one of the strongest memories I have of any of these games. The shapes of the characters look like what I remember, though.
The fighter is a tough one. I'm pretty sure it was released after Mortal Kombat, which if I'm not mistaken would put it in early to mid 90s. There can't be many MK knockoffs with fatalities, surely? Perhaps the whole 'plantlife' aspect is a red herring and I'm not remembering it correctly, but for some reason I keep coming back to a fatality move involving thick green vines.
Thanks for your help so far.

Survival arts?
TOK:
Maybe the MK knockoff was Time Killers... Don't know about the vine part, but the timeframe is right and it had fatalities.
Mortal Kombat games got sissified with "friendships" that let you present flowers.

THe fat/thin one was bonanza brothers.
