by D0ubleDrag0n. Comment: "This is easily one of the best arcade games of all time. Great memories when I was 5 playing this with a good friend or a complete stranger. Just great fun. " (2006-04-01 12:19:04Z)

by BaABnG. Comment: "Was excellent as a two player game. My girlfriend and I played it so many times. It was just OK as a single player, but as two player was awesome." (2005-10-10 17:46:08Z)

by silvernova. Comment: "This is the first Live Arcade Game I ever played when I was 6 years old and I fell in love with it. And to this day, I want to own the live arcade machine. I'm 24 years old now. Wow, call me crazy for not letting go, but I like following the series of this classic game!" (2004-05-11 10:18:27Z)

by bm2bhm. Comment: "perfect arcade game !!" (2004-02-13 12:56:20Z)

by Dave__Dunmall. Comment: "The game which spawned so many feeble copies is probably the best sideways scrolling beat-em-up of all time. Use the elbow or die pretty quickly." (2003-04-01 04:34:55Z)
