Need help remembering the title of this arcade game (set in the American Old West)

I need help remembering the title of this arcade game. I played this game 13+ years ago but could not remember its name.

This arcade game is set in the American Old West. The game is an action game and the view is probably top-down OR top-down/slightly side view. The player controls a Native American/American Indian (not sure which is the politically correct term here) and they throw axes at the enemies in 8 (or 4, but more probably 8) possible directions. Power ups include stronger and faster throwing of weapons and up to 4 players can play. I don't remember clearly but this game might have included barrels as an important part of its gameplay/level design.

Note: It's not Sunset Riders (Konami). It's more of a top-down scroller rather than a side-scroller like Sunset Riders.

Sounds like Gain Ground or Heated Barrel.

Thanks! Yes, it is Heated Barrel! I knew there was a "barrel" in that game somewhere! :rolleyes:

Upon further researching this, I came to understand (I'm a newbie in the arcade emulation gaming scene) that this game is not (yet?) supported by FBA nor MAME. Or is there a way to play this game in FBA or MAME or another emulator even if not 100% properly supported?

It will run in Mame just certain parts are bugged. According to Mameinfo its not the emulation that's a problem but that it needs a particular rom from the original gameboard dumping which apparently they don't have.
