***** 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

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 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
