      well.. kind of similar! but im looking for the "game typ", what are these kind of games called? :)

      but the one im looking for is a bit more high graphic, i think its something US-inspired with houses in background..

      and i think the person your playing is some kind of fighter/kickboxer

          I think the genre name you're looking for is "beat 'em up"

                  Some good ones are The Punisher, Alien vs Preditor, both dungeon and dragon games. Cadillacs and dinosaurs. Of coarse you can't forget the classics like both TMNT games, the simpsons and x-men the arcade game.
                  That's all arcade. On console there is many more

                    possible genre name could be "Platform Fighter" or "Platform Fighting"

                        @najkks Another good one is Armored Warriors. Nothing beats roving around as a giant robot, beating up other giant robots and then stealing their body parts for your own use.

                        "Oh, I have a giant claw, but you have a laser sword?"

                        [beat][beat][beat][drop sword][pickup sword]

                        "Now I have a laser sword!"

                        [swing][swing][slice][slice]

                        "Ooh, that one has tracks for legs. I like tracks..."

                          I realise you've solved this one, but this place is also good at finding long lost game memories: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/

                                OMG, How could i forget,
                                NINJA BASEBALL BATMAN.
                                And if you think the game is some weird baseball game that has Batman................. you'd be wrong.

                                Oh and it runs fine with some very minor slowdown on a Pi :D

                                  'Beat'em ups' and sometimes called 'Brawlers' or 'Brawl'.

                                  When reading your main post, I was thinking of a game called 'Crime Fighters'. I use to play it at our local Wal-Mart when they use to have coin-ops in the breeze way. I think you can get brass knuckles in that game but I can't remember. I'll have to check it out sometime. Been a while since I played it.
