Hello,
I registered in this forum to find the name of two games of my childhood,

I was born in '85 so I was playing in a bar of my town in the first '90s (even if these games could be from the 80s..).
one is the same kind on bubble bobble (two main characters, the same design of levels) but the characters were cockroaches, they were cute and a bit humanized, standing on their feet and wearing plumber clothes. These cockroaches were killing the enemies by rolling big balls (i guess shit balls ). I'm sure somebody will know, it was very diffused in the bars of my town.

The other game I would like to find again was a fighting game. I don't know the exact term, it wasn t an adventure game but simply one vs one (like street fighter). I still can remember many of the fighters: the lion man, some kind of rock man or ice man, the dragon, some wizard... I can remember there was a final move (very difficult to make) that was making your character grab the enemy and jump high in the sky, then coming down and killing him.

that's it, sorry for the not game-expert-language.

I am guessing they are both arcade games? Or are they from some console?

Either way, the first one sounds sort of like a sprite hack of Snow Bros., or maybe some kind of remake.  I'll have to look it up.

As for the second one, I am not very well versed in fighting games, so I am not sure which game that could be.  I will get back to you when I look up the first one.
