Help me remember the name of a retro arcade game

Postby jonesyboy on Wed Sep 30, 2009 8:36 pm

Hi everyone I wonder if you can help me I remember playing a 3 player driving game in either the late 80s or early 90s. It was a top down view a bit like super sprint or ironman off road except these were indi / form 1 type cars. After each race the three drivers where on a podium with a trophy and a girl on your arm if you came first.

ring any bells???

thanks

I was just about to say "Super Sprint" until you mentioned the game.. ;)

Hmm .. Was the game on an arcade cabinet or a console/computer?

Hi guys. I also wonder if anyone can help me remember the name of an arcade game. I Also played this one back in the late 80's, maybe earlier 90's. This was a side scrolling game where you controlled two very muscley guys, i think one dressed in blue, the other in red and all i can really remember about it was you would come across bad guys, beat them up, sometimes come across crashed cars and other objects blocking your path which you had to hit till they were destroyed and you would come across vending machines that you would hit to get cans of cola (I think) which maybe healed you and gave you points. Any idea what I'm on about? cause I havent :(
