A typical streetfighting game which spawned the popular Streets of Rage trilogy. This game is rumored to have used the same engine as Golden Axe, which is why the A button summons magic (sort of) to damage all enemies on screen, instead of doing some sort of roundhouse, like almost all other beat'em ups.

Completed on the hardest difficulty.

Compared to the previous movie (tasvideos.org/130M), this is over 10 minutes faster. Primarily due to the use of 2-players and a glitch that skips most of the last level.

Details can be found in the authors' comments (tasvideos.org/1845S).

    Just like in real life, 2 people that have been together forever, go out for the night, and end up making a scene.

    Axl (breaking bottle over Blaze's head): This does not concern you. Thug: But I can't just let you beat your wife like that. Blaze (breaking thug's neck): He said it doesn't concern you (stabs Axl with knife)

    These two got angry at each other, so they decided to take their anger out on a crime organization; in the end, Mr. X knew he couldn't win and committed suicide and their relationship improved

    Stage 7 is pretty fun, with Axel and Blaze hating each other
  • I remember having this game on a 6-pak Sega Genesis cartridge that came with Sonic 1, Revenge of the Shinobi 3, Columns, Super Hang On, and Golden Axe. I made the mistake of lending it to my cousin and they claim to have lost it. 😒

    I have this on my Playstation. The first time coming back to it since my teenage years; I was like "holy crap this is harder than I remember it being"
  • Axel: We got to stop Mr. X! Blaze: Yeah! If we don’t stop him, we’ll be “X’d” out!

    So many goddamn sprites onscreen at once. Could anyone count how many there were at 3:05 (Assuming there was 8x8, 16x16, and 16x32 sprite sizes, and yes, I am including the wind effect and the barrels and 1-ups)
  • This game is over 15 years old 20 years old and I still like the music
