hey guys,

I love them Beat 'em ups.

I have Final Fight, Burning Fight, TMNTs, Punisher and Cadilacs and Dinos. I was wondering if you guys could recommend any others for my collection!

Thanks!

I played through Alien Vs Predator not long ago, and found it as rewarding a game as any beat em up.

Theres a 4 player game i played the other day, where u collect power up and turn into an animal, which was quiet good (no it wasnt altered beast) but cant remember what it was called.

Another one for the list Crime Fighters

Tough Guys (I think it's called)

It's the one where your a guy with a mohawk and it's a post apocalyptic side-scroller. So memorable to me cause the environment was so destructable/usable.

here's a couple that weren't mentioned.
Cadillacs and dinosaurs.
D&D was mentioned , but worth mentioning there are 2 D&D games which both rock.
Captain Commando.

That's all i can think of off the top of my head right now....

That's Crude Buster my friend, a great game at that!

Vigilante, Renegade, 64th Street Story, and Kung Fu.

The arcade version of Ninja Gaiden was always one of my favorites.

Sunset Riders
Combatribes (prepare to be disappointed!)

Spacejack · « **Reply #21 on:** May 24, 2008, 12:46:17 pm »

I always thought it would be kind of fun to play a beat-em-up that featured fully realized fighting game characters. Like Ryu and Ken fighting their way through a Double Dragon environment (only not actually Double Dragon of course, but something specially configured for it). Is there anything even close to this? It seems like a real natural for the 1992-4 period.

Look for the homebrew Beats of Rage games. There are MANY versions people have made to suit just about every taste.

Dungeon magic is a pretty good beat em' up. You gain levels as you go along and alot of stuff in the environment is usable/destructible

Ninja Baseball Batman

I played it tonight and it's every bit as insane as I remember it.

Metamorphic Force?

Another vote for Ninja Baseball Batman.. that game ROCKS. Played it with my brother once and we were both surprised and impressed. That, along with the Punisher and Vendetta, are probably my favorites.

Another bunch that haven't yet been mentioned here but also good:

Asterix
Crystal of Kings
Dynamite Dux
Knights of Valor (I and II)
Streets of Rage II (MegaPlay/Arcade version of course)
Violent Storm
Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa,

Have fun..
