I'm looking for a game that I used to play in my primary school in the early 2000s -a classmate of mine had brought it and installed it on our classroom's pc and we took turns playing it (Good times! :-) ). As per the topic's title, it was a platformer. Here's what I recall from it:
One could play it with 1 or 2 players. The first player looked like your average builder : yellow helmet, moustache, white shirt, work pants. The 2nd player was a karate-like dude with a green tracksuit and a white bandana (possibly with a red circle in the middle of it). The whole action took place in various levels that looked like contruction sites, and the enemies looked like business types ; some were bald, most with black hair and wore suits and sunglasses -some of them even talked in a cellphone. The player(s) punched/stomped the guys -I think the builder stomped and the karate dude punched, but I'm not certain. At some point there was a boss -a bad bald guy in a huge driller trying to destroy the contruction site- and his only weak point was to stomp him on the head, as the huge drilling machine made it impossible to hit him elsewhere.
Btw, in terms of design the sprites were rather stocky -contrarily to the drawing attached...
A further precision, in case it helps - the game could run on Windows 98 -that's the OS our classroom pc had...
I was thinking to post this for a while, but it's now that I finally decided to do it. Thanks in advance for any help I might get on finding out what that game was.
P.S. I personally remember all this stuff very clearly, like screenshots, but given that these screenshots are locked in my brain, I attach a very crude visual representation of what I just wrote (I was never good at drawing...)
P.S. Addendum:
Another precision (now that I recall the game further): There were multiple floors on at least some levels of the construction site ; certainly on the level where the drill boss was -because I clearly recall the boss moving on each floor and my trying to get on an upper floor than the boss to hit him more easily on the head, but maybe in other places too.
