MAME that game

[Andreas Kohlbach]

It was an arcade game in a yellow waist high cabinet from memory. The
idea was to shoot 1930's gangsters that popped up in windows generally,
sometimes they had hostages. Each time you played, the guys would always
appear in same sequence and place, which made it easier. You had a cross
hair that changed color (from yellow to red i think) as the bad guy got
closer to firing. You had a pistol to shot. You could use a limited
number of 'shields', which you could hide behind like a kevlar
raincoat). A memorable hard part of the game was a few levels in and
there would be this huge fat gangsta (in a restaurant scene?) with a
machine gun and you had to preempt him being there. The other
characteristic was that the graphics were large, ie the gangers were 4
inch high.

Any ideas on what it was called? Street something? Crime something?

You know you're a Redneck when
32. You think a quarter horse is that ride in front of K-Mart.

without him. :-)

12. You keep a can of Raid on the kitchen table.
