[1]***A Beat'm Up in best 'Kung Fu' or 'Double Dragon' tradition. A bit too easy and short for my taste (except the final boss which I found to be very hard). The graphics are very beautiful with great backgrounds and detailed sprites. Controls are a bit jerky, especially kick-jumping. Despite its flaws I enjoyed the game.***Brave the streets of New York City in this side-scrolling beat-'em-up game. Thugs kidnap the beloved Madonna, and it's up to players to become vigilantes. Players fight their way into enemy territory to get her back. Enemies attack with weapons like iron pipes, chains, guns and motorcycles. To fight back, players can punch, kick or use the "nunchaku" item that appears in the stage. Players must use each of the attacks effectively to defeat their enemies. To clear a stage, defeat the boss that waits at the end. Players fight their way through exciting stages that include the City Streets, Junkyard, Brooklyn Bridge and the Backstreets.

[27]***A conversion from Sega's coin-op, If the arcade machine was fun, it's was fast, with big sprite and loads of action !
The conversion is excellent, the game is close to the original, the fake 3D is really nice to watch... for 15 minutes !
As many arcade conversion, the lifetime is very short, not because the game is not interesting (it's not boring neither) but it's the kind of game you can play only 15 minutes on, eventually.
