I'm trying to remember the name of an arcade game and it's driving me nuts. It was one of those "multi-event games" like Track and Field, only it was a series of lumberjack games. The two "events" I recall clearly were a stake-pounding event (you had to line up the sledge-wielding lumberjack and repeatedly pound the buttons to gain momentum to drive home several spikes in the ground) and a sawing event (move the joystick back and forth while hammering the button to have your lumberjack quickly "saw" through the end of a log.

Can anyone ID this game? One of my faves as a kid, but I have never been able to home in on a title. May have been a conversion kit and not a "properly" released game...

Was it Rumba Lumber? I vaguely remember the game. I'm not sure it had multiple events Edit: It's a platformer so I guess it's out

Strength And Skill is the game you seek (also known as The Guiness in Japan).
