"Bump and Jump". It also had dumptrucks that would drop loads that you
could crash into, and an exclamation point would flash when a jump was
coming up. Sound familiar?

I think City Connection is right. The only other one that comes close
to that is JumpBug, and that’s on MAME…

I remember a couple of old games but not their names. Does anyone
know the ones I mean?
The first one was a vertical scroller where you control a car and you
have to bump other cars into the side walls to destroy them. You
also have a jump button which lets you jump over rivers etc. It was
probably from about 1982.
The other one was pretty scarce in Australia at least. It was a
horizontal two-way scroller where you controlled a modern compact
turbo type car. It was basically a platform game but with a car as
the main character. Probably from around 83-84.
Was the second one City Connection? I’m only familiar with MAME
sorry.

I remember a game like this one but I can’t think of the name either.

I don’t know much about arcade games but this one sounds like Blaster
Master.

That one is easy…. Bump ‘n’ Jump.
Dig aroung for the latest version of Replay; it emulates it with sound. Some
of the colors are off, but hey.
..I hated that game, never could stand it.

First one sounds like Bump N’ Jump or Buggy Popper…whatever they
called it where you are.
And that second one probably is City Connection

Sounds like Bump and Jump. (Just played this one last weekend in a nearby
"Fun" park
