Gekido: Urban Fighters is a beat’em up for the PS1. It was released in North America in June 2000. This is one of the games that was first released in Europe and later brought to North America. I really want to like this game, but something is holding it back. The gameplay and controls areContinue reading “Gekido: Urban Combat, a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1”

Fighting Force is a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1
Fighting Force is a 3D beat’em up from the team that created Tomb Raider. I previously played the N64 version, which I thought was good but not anything special. It was a fun game, and it made me want to play the PS1 version and the sequels on the PS1 and Dreamcast. I remember likingContinue reading “Fighting Force is a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1”
Fighting Force on the N64 is Great
I haven’t reviewed many games for the N64. I didn’t play many games for the system growing up. I either played games on the PC or the PS1. When I looked over the library recently, I saw that there weren’t many games in the genres I enjoy playing. I did find one, though. It is aContinue reading “Fighting Force on the N64 is Great”
Its Like a Simple Double Dragon, Technos The Combatribes
The Combatribes was released in the arcades in 1990. Technos brought it to the SNES in 1992, the version of the game we’re playing. There are several differences between the two versions. I never saw the arcade game, and I had never heard of the SNES version. A story was added to the SNES game,Continue reading “Its Like a Simple Double Dragon, Technos The Combatribes”
Super Double Dragon on the SNES Review
The Double Dragon games on the NES seemed everywhere in my neighborhood. Whether they were being rented or someone owned them, It seemed like everyone played them. The SNES games were an exception. The SNES is a blind spot for me. Most of the games I played were games my friends rented. Super Double DragonContinue reading “Super Double Dragon on the SNES Review”
The Best Beat’em Up on the SNES, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time has nothing to do with the movie and is based on one of Konami’s arcade games. While I have never played the arcade game, I have some memories of the SNES game. This was one of the games I was introduced to while collecting retro games inContinue reading “The Best Beat’em Up on the SNES, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time”
A Review of Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter on the Genesis
Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter is a unique Beat’em Up/Fighting game hybrid. It does a better job of being a Beat’em UP, but the Fighting game stages are interesting. The game turns into Power Rangers for a minute as your character grows to fight the boss. It also reminds me of Jet Jaguar for some reason.Continue reading “A Review of Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter on the Genesis”
Review of Captain America and the Avengers Beat’em Up
Super Heroes and Beat’em Up games go well together. Playing as your favorite comic book character and punching bad guys in the face is always fun. In this game, it is robots, but they still have faces, so it counts. Captain America and the Avengers is a Beat’em Up game where you play as oneContinue reading “Review of Captain America and the Avengers Beat’em Up”
Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis
I learned about the Toxic Crusaders games from AVGN. That greatly impacted how I viewed this game when I first started playing. Instead of finding a terrible game, I found an enjoyable Beat’em Up with a few Shoot’em Up sections. This game is based on the cartoon, which was how I first learned about theContinue reading “Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis”
Zombie Revenge: A House of the Dead Beat’em Up
Sega had a strategy for every console release. This strategy revolved around porting their arcade games to a new home console, which would help them build a library of arcade hits to try and drive people to buy the new console. They wanted to bring the arcade experience into the home. This worked for someContinue reading “Zombie Revenge: A House of the Dead Beat’em Up”
