I'm trying to remember a game I used to play years ago at a mate's house. All my memories of it are very vague but from what I can remember...
- It was 2D
- You fought against enemies/monsters of some sort
- At points in the levels/stages, innocent civilians would run past (you were saving them I think). You could attack/kill them, though you weren't supposed to. There may have been a penalty of some sorts if you did. I think they also screamed when you did.
I played it on his PC via emulation (naughty I know ), which means it would have been on Megadrive, Snes, Arcade or Neo Geo. I kept thinking it might have been Golden Axe or King of the Monsters but neither of them seem right, especially Golden Axe.
Sorry how it's all a bit vague. Any help given would be greatly appreciated!
