|  "Looking for the title of an arcade game"

Well, I'm a new user of this board an after reading how quickly you help the gamer in trouble ;) I decided to post this. Well, the story is this: About 10 years ago I used to play this game at the local arcade place. It was a side scroller, full of wacky characters where you played as the soul of a guy who had been killed in the past by some baddies. Somehow, his soul (I think it was his soul, it was a white fluffy cloud thingie) was trapped inside a glass container from where our friend spent its etereal time 'till he felt that a girl (his girlfriend?) was in trouble so he left to rescue her. What was cool about this game is that you had the ability to "swap souls" with almost ANY other character in the game, and in this way you could use the skills of the character you got to go to the rescue. I remember there were metalic birds and ninjas and stuff (or perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me...sorry, but this was 10 years ago!), anyway, you'd loose your life energy if you were hit and eventually your host would die and you were again the white thingie and then your energy would go down as crazy unless you managed to get another host really quick. My question is if any of you can help identify this game, I really would like to know how it was called and if it is playable on any emulator such as MAME. I never managed to finish it, and I never found the arcade machine again in the very few places that are left in my city where you can play arcades. It seems that here consoles took over the market of gamers. Well, if you could help me thanks a lot!
Always remember that you're unique just like everybody else.
