You know the drill, except this time, I've got a weird one.
Someone that works at an arcade I go to told me about a strange action game they played in Japan. It was a side-scrolling action game that they said was likely from the late 80s, and "like River City Ransom", so I'm assuming it's a beat 'em up. The gimmick is that the control panel had a joystick and two buttons, as well as a light gun (or positional gun). At certain scenes, you would use the gun. There was a scene where you were shooting down an alleyway, and one where you were in a car shooting out the back window.
I know of games that would switch to a shooting gallery screen but still use the joystick (Alien Storm, Crime City), but something that used an actual gun controller for it. I've played countless obscure games in MAME, but I've either forgotten this one, or it isn't emulated. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Anyone know what this shitty DOS game was called where you were answering questions for these chicks, and if they didn't like your answer, they turned into the Terminator?

Maybe that's what it was reminding me of, but no, it's an arcade game, and apparently it was in a dedicated cabinet.

I remember renting this RPG for the NES as a kid, I picked the game having no idea what it was.
Hands came up out of the ground randomly and grabbed you, pulling you in to a fight.
It was my first ever RPG so I did not know I was supposed to fight and level up. So I ran from every battle.
Think I managed to make it to a second town by getting lucky with fleeing.

Sounds like Esper Dream, except that was footprints and they didn't just pop up out of nowhere.

Early to mid 90s. PC.
So the game "board" was a series of cups/platforms running along diagonal rows.
I believe the colours of the pieces were either red or green, they were all balls of varying size.
The idea was you had to smash and absorb all of your opponent's blobs. A really tiny blob can shatter a really big blob. If you hit a mediumish blob with a mediumish blob they go together and split in half and are both yours.

There are more than a few side-scrolling beat-em-up type arcade games that have shooting sections, mostly from 85 to 91 or 92. Try concentrating your search there.

I don't know but share it if you find it, it sounds interesting.

There's only so many RPGs for the NES, don't be lazy.
