Need help identifying arcade games

(1/3) > >>

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)?

MrMojoZ:
Was 2 NARC?

mj147:
Was thinking NARC for #2 as well

#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?
