man, this is such a great beat em up!!! i recommend this to any beat em up fans. tons of action, a good ammount of blood, and you get to smash heads together. not to mention swinging people around by their legs, and all kinds of other crazy shit.

the characters are awesome. look at how cool they look. i really like the atmosphere that this game has a lot.

everyone beat em up fan should check this out. you know it's a good beat em up cause Technos made it, and no one makes better beat em up then them.

TechnosLand

oh, one last thing. anyone know how the SNES port turned out? i hear not that good. anyways, we got Double Dragon and River City Ransom. this should definitely be next on Technos's list, unless they want to make another Nekketsu Koukou Soccer.

I loved that game. Every beat 'em up should have had that "Bash heads together" animation

If you play it for 5 minutes in MAME sure you will say its great, but back in the beginning of the 90'ies almost no one touched the game in the arcades I visited.

 

[BlackClouds]

Probably because that game had insane difficulty, or at least the machine I played was.

 

[belgurdo]

No one touched it where I went either.

 

[imastalker co.]

well um...i dunno. those people missed out.

 

[jenov4]

OH definitely, this game rocks! The corner store had this game and me and my buddies would play this game after school.

The SNES version also kicked ass. I had the multi-tap and played that to death. Great & underappreciated game!

 

[Spectral Glider]

Oh yeah, I love this game. Played it often in the arcade, and yeah, it was pretty hard. The only thing I didn't like was the music, pretty crappy. But the rest of it was good stuff.

 

[cuccoo]

people were already tired of beat'em up back then... it was the golden age of fighting games.

I remember thinking "COMBATRIBES" was an amusingly silly name back in the day. They used to have this at Finholm's grocery store in downtown Gig Harbor when I was a kid. I think it replaced an OG Ninja Gaiden cabinet.

DFS.

The problem with this game in the arcade was the same with Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone. Standing around doing nothing depleted energy.

 

[imastalker co.]

hey check it out, a bump.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I loved the game (bashing their heads into the pavement rocked!)...but RCR and the arcade version of Renegade are still Technos Japan's finest games, IMO.

 

[Mandark]

This game used to be in the 7/11 down the street. I remember the fast white guy, the balanced white guy, and the strong black guy. There were some moves (like banging two enemies' heads together) that I did by accident and never figured out how to do on purpose.

No idea how good it was, but it has a ton of nostalgia for me.

 

[boutrosinit]

Capcom's Alien Vs Predator = best scrolling beat em up EVAH!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Yeah, I agree that, alongside SoR2, AVP is the best BEU ever. However, that's Capcom (and Sega)...this is Technos Japan, man.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Konami's Violent Storm (1993) is a damn good BEU as well...

 

[imastalker co.]

dude, Violent Storm is so hardcore early 90's Konami is just kicks your ass out of your seat, or whever your standining.

you just know you're in for something good whenever that music starts. such 90's Konami action to the max that game is.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

What about...
