Looking for info on 2 games:

I can't remember the name of this arcade game - I think it was in the 90s, it was a side-scrolling platformer where you were a knight, walking towards a tower in the first or an early level, and you could take new weapons from enemies you kill I believe. One weapon was a pair of triple-claws, one for each hand or maybe just one for one hand. And various swords, etc. Then when you got to the tower you could start to climb up in it, level by level.

Anyone remember something like that?

The other one is an even older, PC game. You're the captain of a spaceship who is supposed to go from planet to planet mining minerals/ore to bring back to your base or Earth. You can get attacked by pirates and whatnot. VERY old game, late 80s.

Thanks in advance!
