Vague Arcade Game Memory. Need help identifying.

Right,

I remember this old school vertical schmupper that i only ever saw in the arcade. The only the thing i can really remember about it was that your avatar was a motorbike and side-car (with a mounted gun of course!!). I keep thinking it was called Moto X but thats blatantly a different game...

Any ideas?

Thundercade perhaps?

HIJACK,

on a similar tip I remember playing this game in the arcade, but can't remember the name.

Space type Shmup with a ship. You could drop bombs, which exploded with a large blue circular explosion on impact with the ground. The wierd thing about this game is that it had vertical and horizontal sections.

Any ideas?

Guardians Of The Hood



I thought that was kinda heavy - scrolling beat em ups were so GHETTO back in them days! It seemed so right to jack kids for money to play that

Salamander/Life Force maybe?

Salamander/Life Force maybe?

No, I don't think so, there was definately a bomb which would arc to the ground and explode with a big blue circle type thing. The vert parts were over the surface of a planet.

Looks similar to Salamader, but I don't think that's it.

Remember 'Vendetta' Saur? I loved smashing those fags into shop windows with spiked baseball bats!!!

The way the dogs tried mounting you was pretty sick though.

Thanks Shou,

**** yes, that looks like the game. This has been bugging me for well over a decade, I can't thank you enough.

Time to check it out on emulation.
