Pu * Li * Ru * La (Arcade)
The story: Here is a wonderland called "Radishland"
In each town, under a keeper's control, the time flow was correctly kept with a time key.
But, a bad man appeared and stole the time key to stop the time flow.
The towns were attacked one by one, the time flow was stopped and they received damage.
An old man was impressed with a sense of danger and he called Zac and Mel.
And he entrusted them with his invented magic stick in order to defend their town.
Find the key to restore the flow of time!
Played with a friend via Fightcade. I was Zac and he was Mel. It's a very weird beat em' up where you beat things up with a magic wand. Zac's walking animation is worth checking out.
Yu Yu Hakusho Makyo Toitsuken (Mega Drive)
A very good fighter developed by Treasure with very good mechanics. I beat the game with Shinobu Sensui.
Wild Dogs (PC)
Developed by the same people that did Biolab Wars. It also serves as a prequel to Biolab Wars as well. This game was another awesome Legally Distinct Contra and other nice surprises thrown in with many different color filters. I recommend it.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)
A good one. Played it with a friend via Fightcade. He was Leo and I was Mikey.
STAY COOL, KOBAYASHI-SAN: A RIVER CITY RANSOM STORY (PC)
So I finally got around to playing this one to formulate my own opinion about this game from all the mixed/negative reviews.
You play as Kobayashi (named Thor from River City Ransom, one of the bosses you fought in that game). It's up to you to rescue your friend (can choose a male/female friend) from...a weird gang of aliens? It plays a little similar to some of the Kunio games. You get to team up with Kunio (can also play as him too if you want).
This game is...strange, with the story. You go around, beat up gangs, fight a boss, repeat.
The story is nothing to write home about. I had to restart the game cause the final boss is one of the cheapest bosses I ever had the misfortune to fight against so I took a different path, beat up the gangs in the "right order" and got a super anime power up to beat the final boss.
I don't like how upgrades work in this game. You can power up yourself and your other characters after you beat a boss but you have to do it from the main title screen menu instead of the game play menu (like, what?)
If you look up guides and figure out how the game works...it's kinda fun and ok.
You're honestly better off playing games from this series or another good beat em' up.
Robocop Vs. Predator (itch.io)
This was one of the best fan made games I have ever played starring Robocop in it. The game is free and it plays like a Game Boy game right down to the aesthetic. You can only play this in full screen. Game is very fun and the story is freakin' insane. I recommend this one. Play it. Best 2 hours I ever spent on it.
Downwell (PC)
Beating it on Hard mode still eludes me but I replayed it on Normal. I wanted to replay it cause I had the urge and I needed to unlock Hard mode again anyway and the color filters cause this has no cloud saves. I need to learn to back up my saves.
D.D. Crew (Arcade)
One of my favorite guilty pleasure bad beat em' ups me and my friend played (to his dismay cause he ran a community pot challenge to play on his stream rofl). He was Gung Ho and I was King.
Return of Double Dragon (Super Famicom)
Played via Fightcade with a friend. Japanese version of Super Double Dragon. A lot better than the US version for sure. You can set the continues up to 9, you can catch the boomerang in this one, different music placements, enemies have less HP and aren't damage sponges and a slightly different final stage. I just wish that this game wasn't so unfinished. Even with the modern re-release of this game on Modern Consoles/PC, all you get are the options to play the US/Japanese version and an adjustable speed setting. This game was supposed to have so much more. Ah well. Maybe I'll try that fan game called Legend of Double Dragon that's basically an enhanced version of this game with cut scenes and such.
Wild Fang (Arcade)
Played via Fightcade with a friend. Also called Tecmo Knight. Game was pretty cool for a beat em' up. You play as Knights where you can switch between riding on top of a giant or a tiger each with different attacks. Very bloody too but cool.
Growl (Arcade)
Played via Fightcade with a friend. You play as the Ranger Corps of the Protectors of Animals' World Society. Two of the characters look like Indiana Jones. You stop evil poachers from poaching animals. The final boss was...out of this world. That's a good way of putting it.
Shock Troopers (Neo Geo)
Played via Fightcade with a friend. A very cool run and gun. 9 characters to choose from and multiple paths. I was Jackal and my friend was Milky. Very good presentation and story.
Shock Troopers 2nd Squad (Neo Geo)
Played via Fightcade with a friend. This was an ok sequel. Only 4 characters but had more multiple paths than the first one. I was Leon and my friend was Angel. I liked the first game more.
Ninja Baseball Bat Man (Arcade)
Played via Fightcade with a friend. This was a very wacky beat em' up. It's a must play. I was Stick Straw and my friend was Captain Jose.
Swords & Bones 2 (PC)
A little better than the first game. More of the same but nothing wrong with that.
Prison City (PC)
A huge love letter to Power Blade on the NES with a tiny touch of S . hatterhand but it's more Power Blade than anything. I loved this game's OST (Matt Creamer is the composer who did work on Retro City Rampage and Venture Kid). It's good stuff.
The reason why you couldn't see my Signature before is because it was
Invisible
