Post by: Termin8tor on September 02, 2010, 08:03:32 am

 :banghead: Hi, can anyone help me. The game i'm trying to find is a arcade shooter from the mid 80's i think the player is a cop and you shoot people poping out of windows and doors the second level I seem to remember is a fairground with baddies on the rollercoaster. thanks in advance.

What about "Coaster Cop" that first person shooter from 1985?

Dirk Dashing the theme park security guard must make his way across the worlds largest roller coasters and avoid getting knocked off the track on his way to defeat the evil Psycho Scout who is threatening to blow up the entire ride killing his hostages, a small group of Girl Guides on their annual outing.

I think Combatribes has a rollercoaster in one scene. But that's a beat em up, not a police shooting game

Thanks Guys. More info, the first level your in an alley shooting baddies the second a fairground can't remember anymore levels, I think there is a targeting reticule. The player (cop) is behind a wall only poping out to shoot the bad guys each level is like this with only the scenery changing per level. Also totaly forgot about Empire City another classic game from my youth cheers RayB.

Found it!! its called Shoot Out pretty close with my description considering I havent played it for over 20+ years. Oh well it only took me 17 months, today I decided to check out every screenshot on VG Museum. link= http://www.vgmuseum.com/arcade.htm (http://www.vgmuseum.com/arcade.htm)

Other classics I found Express Raider and Ring King.
