Street Warriors

Just by coincidence, this cut-down Double Dragon lookalike actually features the "Dragon" Gang! Naturally, you play the lone defender of niceness in this neighbourhood and it's up to you to punch and kick your way through the gang's ranks and teach their "Boss" the error of his ways.

Downed thugs leave their wallets for you to pick up and, at the end of the level, you can collect a bulging sack of cash to turn into extra time, or a bomb to use on the next level. The combat is incredibly simple and the graphics could safely be described as gruesome, but the music is quite a good groove and an ardent basher-up could probably squeeze a couple of hours play out of Street Warriors.

C64

A very simple beat-'em-up that fortunately doesn't play as badly as it looks.
