My mystery game is a martial arts action side scroller. I think it is most similar to Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Kicker, Taito's "SamuraiNihon-Ichi"(1985) or "Kaiketsu Yanchamaru".
The first level had a kung fu type of character with a large head walking to the right, and soon you came across a tiger leaping in the air and down at you. There were some green asian steppes or land for the background. I have only seen one upright arcade cab of this game and cannot find it on Mame or anywhere else. This game could possibly already be on Mame, as I have rather old romsets. I can't remember the title or the company.I looked all over Klov to no avail. I used to play in a movie theatre probably in 1986 or 1987. The building is still there, but is now a church. I have been looking for this game for years, and never found it anywhere. It could be on Mame already, but I have never seen it. I have only seen the cab at the state movie theater, and never again after that. I remember the intro with the rice steppes, and jumping tigers. I can't remember the name of the game. Any info appreciated. I recently found an old mag I had that I could only remember the cover and one article from, without knowing the name of the magazine. Maybe somebody out there recalls this game. Let me know if you come across a game like this, it would be awesome to find it.
