and Schizm:
I'm trying to think of some arcade games I played in my youth.
One I believe was called "Heavy Weapon"
you literally walked around and collected pieces of a weapon called "heavy weapon" and it was overpowered etc.
another I can't recall the name but:
you started off as a red or a blue cop, (I think co-op was both) and fought some bosses until you got an armored suit, then were badass. I think it was 3 levels until you got the suit?
oh and another that I enjoyed, but this is just for the lulz: police academy.
The first I was wondering if you could confirm it's existence or if it's a manifestation of years of prescription drug use. The second I'd love to know the name.
