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. :)              Bel       --       Whip Ass Gaming: http://www.whipassgaming.com/              "Time flies when you're kicking ass!"        - Duke in Duke Nukem: Time to Kill              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
