Personal review

Take on the roles of Billy Lee (blonde hair) and/or Jimmy Lee (brown hair) as you punch, spin kick, and headbutt your way through numerous levels of bad guys in search of your kidnapped girlfriend! Cliched plot, but excellent game - this was way ahead of the competition at the time, and for many is unsurpassed in terms of its look-and-feel. In other words, you could really feel those punches hit! Many excellent touches make this a classic arcade game: fighting your partner at the end to see who gets the girl, the green Abobo halfway through, multiple enemies soaring through the air as you unleash your mighty baseball bat, and of course, the catchy title music.
