Name for this old arcade game?

Hello, Goggle has proved fruitless! I am trying to track down the name of an old arcade game. Late 80's? Around the same time as Double Dragon It was a scrolling game and two people could play and join forces. You pretty much just got a Jeep and show at stuff. With the usual power ups. Anyone?

Jackal ?
If it was top down then Jackal I think.
Side scrolling and I'll say Silkworm as well

If it's none of the games mentioned already could it be Mercs. I know it's a bit later but it sounds like the gameplay you describe.

You haven't given us much to go on. What type of scroller? Top down? Side?

Could be Ikari Warriors if it's a top down.

Thanks for all the replies.

It was Jackal Google did help with hindsight but I didn't recognise the game tbh

I do remember that Mercs too! Very similar.
