japan companies were making Mame game were capcom-sega-atari- konami right?

There are a lot more : dataeast, taito, kaneko, cave, ... to only name a few.

I think the game you are searching for is "shadow force" (this one is from Technos). The game should be playable in both mame (2003+) and fbalpha.

@choobchoobi
Think you have hit one a good idea, where other users on this forum can help each other locate that all elusive game, which we played in our youth but have forgot the name of.

One of mine was a cocktail table type, that was of a similar vain as Pacman, but you played the part of a cop chasing a robber, and was able to lock the robber up in a jail and then carry on picking up items. It was similar to Cat and Mouse but with Cops and Robbers instead, going back to around 1981/82 here!

@impman66 It was "Lock 'n' Chase"

@jonnykesh That was quick!!! Nice one, thanks for that, looking for it now to put on my Pi.

See good, little thread this one, now anyone else have any they need help with :)

@impman66 Do you have any other MAME ROMs running on the PI? Just get it from the same set.
It's called lnc.zip

@jonnykesh Thanks for the tip, will do just that.

I would recommend using mame2010 or fbalpha for this one, the driver in mame2003 seems kinda buggy.

@barbudreadmon Again Thank-you!!
