   Well, to me at least, the arcade's three(or is it four, I think it's   
   four actually) player co-op gameplay was just a lot of fun. Plus, they   
   just throw some many damn enemies at you at once. The action is fast and   
   furious, just like an arcade game should be.   
      
   The Genesis version, more than anything, was memorable to me just due to   
   the brutal moves and attacks. Though all of them are from the arcade   
   version, the missing animation frames and added speed makes it seem a   
   lot more painful, and more amusing.   
      
   Still, I can see why people didn't like, or find memorable, either   
   version. It's not for everyone, and I definitely wouldn't put it in a   
   league with stuff like Double Dragon 1 or 2, TMNT, etc. but I still   
   think it's pretty cool. :)
