Vigilante
Scrolling Urban ChampionGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1989
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
I suppose this is what a beat-em-up was before Double Dragon came around. There's nothing wrong with a strictly 2D side-scroller view for this sort of game, so long as it's done well. See Ninja Warriors for an example. This is not one of those well-made games. It's a lightly upgraded Kung-Fu. Enemies spawn infinitely and come at you from both sides which is really the only element of gameplay other than walking to the right and mashing the attack button. Oh and don't drop those nunchucks or you may as well reset.

Girl kidnapped. Fight thugs. Rescue girl. This seems vaguely familiar.
