Arcade theme questions

It was a scroller, it was based in street - city environments including a subway. It involved kicking and punching many opponents who hid in doorways etc.
You could pick up baseball bats and bins and throw them?

This game was a firstperson shooter i only saw in arcades, it was a huge stand up box with an uzi attatched to the top which was on a flapping bit of metal that attempted to give the impression of recoil!! you blasted away at army troopers?

fackin excellent the pair of them but can't remember names

Operation Wolf?

The first one sounds like Final Fight -->

The only problem with it is I don't think you could throw bins? Might possible be Double Dragon as sufcintheprem suggests although their wasn't a subway section in the game.

The second one does sound like Operation Wolf. -->

There's quite a good arcade history site funnily enough called http://www.arcade-history.com/

Streets of rage?

You could throw bins (or punch them at least!) in Final Fight. The subway thing leads me to think it is Final Fight.

My other thought would be Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja?

Double Dragon and Operation wolf

I don't think there was a game called Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja released in the arcades (only the song by the Lost Prophets heh). The only one I can find is Bad Dudes Vs Dragon Ninja (the bad dudes in question ironically being the good guys).

Streets of Rage was never an arcade game, it was originally released on the Sega Genesis (it was called Bare Knuckle in Japan). Double Dragon has no subway level in the game so it's not that.

Ah yea, Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja - the LostProphets song is cool though!

 

[Kenny]

subway level is Final Fight methinks.

Dead right answers guys, thanks.

Final fight and operation Wolf were the ones.

Final fight was bloody brilliant.
