Looking for a beat'em up game title. Any idea greatly appreciated

Hi!

I'm new to this forum, i'm a fan of arcade games, since around 1990 :) i just discovered this board, and i'm very happy that i can ask a question what i'm looking for about 7 years :) maybe you know the answer, or if you have any idea, please share.

i know a lots of games, and i remember of a game which was very good, but i don't remember of it's title. I played with it about 15 years ago when i was a kid. The game is a beat'em up. It looks similar to Vendetta(crime fighters 2). The facts i remember of this game, there was a boss who look like Richard Kiel from cannonball run 2

he is at the bottom centre in red cap :)
Another thing i remember, that there was a level, when you have to jump down from the top of a building, and while you are falling, you can control the charachter, and dodge from some things :) when you get down to the ground, and if you were in good position then you fall to the boxes, and you don't lose life :) but if you miss, you lose life or hp.
These are the 2 key things i remember, please if you have any idea, which is this game i described, then post it.
 
Hmmm, doesn't ring a bell but I'm sure others will recognize it since your description is better than most "what the hell is this?!" posts!

Welcome to KLOV! I noticed you're from Budapest, very cool to see more European arcade guys on the forums! I've been to Budapest once a while back, I loved the water park on the little island in the middle of the city... saw the nicest pair of breasts there that I've EVER seen!! Left a nice impression of the city in my head! (clothing optional water park, the wave pool was AWESOME!)

LOL, figured I'd start you off with a mild dose of the klov raunchyness so you'd know what you were getting into! ;)
 
Never played the scene of the game he's talking about, but games that look like crime fighters 2
1. Crime Fighters 1
2. River City Ransom
3. Double Dragon I, II, III
4. Bad Dudes
5. Vigilante

Check em all out on KLOV to see if anything rings a bell. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Now how bout some pics of this chlothing optional water park.
 
FullThrottle: It was surely Margaret Island, Margit Sziget in hungarian :) and i know i see those good pair of breasts every day :D you can't imagine the rest of them :D

Space_cowboy: koszi

xarcade: i'm gonna chech this out, thank you

Black Matrix: 1st, thank you, but these games are a little bit older than i remember :) but ofc i'm gonne check them out
 
I remember at the falling scene there were some flag poles, and you can tell where the boxes at the ground will be. So the 'pros' looked these poles after dodging some falling stuff, and they knew how to be in the good position, i learnt this from the arcade :D (a useful skill in life :D) i also remember, at 1st times, i always missed the jump, and lost life or hp, but when someone showed me, what should i watch while the charachter is falling, i could do the jump without losing life or hp
 
1st of all thx for the ideas

I checked all games you told me
Unfortunately none of them :(

i watched walkthroughs of these games on youtube, but nothing
 
I was almost certain it was Sly Spy, based on the KLOV description of the game saying it had some James Bond-type bosses. One being "Jaws", which was played in the movie by that actor you had mentioned.
 
thanks for the tip
i wished it would be sly spy, but checked a walkthrough 2 times looking for familiar things, but unfortunately no :/
 
I FOUND IT :D

After the 1st post here, i started intensive search, and I checked titles, 1st i checked your ideas, and 2nd i started to check in alphabetical order :)
2.5D beat'em up games, which isn't too old, isn't too new, isn't fantasy, etc...
From a snapshot i could tell, that i should start investigate or not
After a couple of games, i saw D.D. Crew's snapshot. I said it's surely no, but ofc i checked a walkthrough video on youtube.
and after a few images from the game, OMG THIS IS IT!

I uploaded a few images from the game related to my posts about the game.
The falling part was just a few seconds part, not that much, i'm not wondering nobody remember of that, there was no flag poles. Well it was 15 years ago :) memories altered during that time :D
And about Richard Kiel. Maybe when i was young, it looked similar, because of that cap, and the yellow cloth. But now... :D

Thanks for all help
