I have been having fun re-visiting this game! I used to play this way back in the day. I was big on fighting games then. For the side scrolling types I played Double Dragon, Final Fight and Streets Of Rage. I used to rent them from the video store. The first Streets Of Rage is pretty hard sometimes especially at later levels. I recorded 3 video clips of gameplay. First is the level one boss fight. A clip from the second level and a clip of the 3rd. I do like the level one boss, he is kinda funny!
I did play through a little farther than the videos but I had to practice a bit lol. Will probably make another post of this. I like how I'm playing on an old t.v. too. Brings back that vintage gaming feeling/experience. Here is level 2 clip. I like how the special ability is a cop car launching a rocket to help you. The music is great!
The 3rd level is on the beach! I had the baseball bat and fought through for awhile!
