Topic: I'm looking for a couple old arcade game titles.

Unfortunately, I don't know who made them or even a part of the title.

Anyway, one of the titles was a side-scrolling fighting game.  What was unique about it was that you'd occasionally defeat characters who would say, "I will help you."  Then your character would get to take on that character's form.  That's all I know about it unfortunately.

Next, was a light gun game.  This one you play as police and I only managed to get through the first level.  This level was a grocery store robbery that spans into the subway and finally into a warehouse with a mini gun toting boss.

Finally, there was a game that I saw where the character's primary capability was to breathe fireballs.  This looked to be set in medieval times and it was a side scroller.

I know I'm not giving much but I'd appreciate any suggestions you have.

1. Sengoku for the Neo Geo/AES/MVS/whatever it's called, or one of its sequel?
2. Lethal Enforcer? I haven't really played the game, so I'm not sure, but at least it's police-themed I suppose. Otherwise it may be polycrap Virtua Cop.
3. Is the character a human or some kind of creatures?

[Renodox]

It's a man.  He's some fat guy with a long thin moustache.

Ah. Is it Karnov?

[Darth Mandarb]

Oh man I used to love Karnov.  And Rygar.

Damn... now I'm feeling all nostalgic and might have to break out my old NES!!

[Renodox]

Yes!  Thank you.

Now I know to look for Karnov and Sengoku.

Unfortunately, the police game isn't Lethal Enforcer or Virtua Cop.  It's an arcade game so I don't think you'll find it on any consoles.

It still sounds pretty much like Virtua Cop 2.

SEGA made some police games for arcades too, but I cannot remember any names. Try to find a MAME site and recognize game from screenshots.

Unfortunately, the police game isn't Lethal Enforcer or Virtua Cop.  It's an arcade game so I don't think you'll find it on any consoles.

But both games are arcade games. It's just easier for me to post links from Mobygames so that's why my links all point to their console ports. I don't know much about light gun games but police-themed games also include Time Crisis series by Namco. It may also be a certain game by Midway that uses the same engine as Revolution X.

Okay I've got a new one.  In this game, you play as a gladiator in the Roman Coliseum.  Anyway, the first opponent is some snake guy who's best move is to squeeze you in his tail.  After you beat him, he turns to stone and his head breaks off.  The other two characters I've seen are a frog creature that knows a down thrust move that killed every challenger I've seen and the third guy is some skeleton with skeletal bat wings who throws fireballs at you.  I've never seen him beat either.  Any ideas?
