I remember playing this old game in the arcades about 10 years ago or so and I cannot think of the name of it for the life of me. Hopefully someone here can help me. I don't remember a lot about the game, but from what I recall it was sort of a spy type game where the enemies were people that were different solid colors and you had to shoot at them and you could open doors and hide in them. I think the game also had an upstairs and ground level you could go along. Unfortunately that's about all I can remember, I know it's not a lot go on but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about?
Help me find the name of this game

Thanks! I think that very well could be it, I'm having trouble finding good screenshots of it, coinop.org doesn't seem to want to send me a registration e-mail. Are there any other possibilities?

But... what was the point of having 8 life boxes when a punch would drop it in half and a bullet wound would kill you outright?
Great game otherwise.

It's like having an arcade-style leaderboard on a home console game---pointless. Unless the leaderboard is transmitted to an online server somewhere, going "nice! I beat my own score! Excellent" isn't exactly earth shattering.
Perhaps the eight bars were there to make players feel like they had more of a chance, and should therefore pump more quarters into the machine.

If you like the first one, try out the sequels. The second one was pretty weak, but the 3rd one was great. Their on the Genesis.

[quote name='epobirs']The original design called for lesser forms of damage to use individual health blocks, like stubbing your toe and a boss that handed out noogies.[/quote]
wow.
Noogies should take off about 3 squares I would imagine. And a wedgie should kill you outright like the gunshot.

Nope. Entirely diferent games, entirely different companies. There are hundereds of games just like that. I've always preferred Sunset Riders myself.

I actually beat that game. I'm the only person I've ever known IRL or online that ever beat Rolling Thunder. I was hella addicted to it and damn was I good.
I think it was the hardest game I ever beat.
