      Hello, I'm trying to identify a couple of arcades from the 90's, but I only played them once in the past so I barely have a description that can help in this process. Hopefully some arcade-guru can aid me on this.

      The first game featured some side scrolling action where you would be armed with a gun or machine gun (maybe), while mutants were taking over people around you, meaning they would also turn humans into mutants of some kind, even kids, I remember a kid being turned into a mutant while his mom tried to help him but then you would have to fight the kid (I think). At some point the side-scrolling action would become briefly a first person shooter sort of like in terminator but the screen wouldn't move, you would just be shooting still in the same place (in a super-market), while big sized mutants would attempt to approach you jumping in between the aisles.

      The second game was a simple beat-em up side scrolling game, where I believe you would take control of a gang member (I believe a bald one), funny thing about this one is that you could pick up small cars and throw them at your enemies, it could be played with 2 players. I'm sorry about the small descriptions, maybe somebody knows of a beatem-up database where I can attempt to look if no body can recognize this one, thanks for the help.

        First one definitely sounds like Alien Storm.

          Sanosuke, that is indeed the first arcade game, thank you very much for the help.

                  The second one might be Crude Buster (US: Two Crude).

                    That's the one JesseBlue, I wasn't expecting to find them so fast, and with such a small description, thank you man.
