Yesterday was a pretty good day for #RetroGaming , especially in the field of beat-em ups.

This is probably just me, but these games felt like THE beat-em up classics for the #SegaGenesis

#StreetsOfRage
#GoldenAxe
#AlienStorm

As a kid, my friend and I played these games countless amounts of times, and I don't think we ever once beat them. I always knew why. Being arcade ports, they were designed to be difficult and unfair.
Thinking on it, Streets of Rage was probably the closest we got to beating. We had reached Mr X once.

Since then, I had beaten Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, and as of yesterday, I can finally say I completed Alien Storm!
There has been something quite nice about putting these three games to bed!

You're definitely not alone.
I still vastly prefer Streets of Rage 1 to the sequel, despite recognising that 2 is objectively the superior game.

The thing is, feelings and taste is never objective. 😁

Same as how Shadow Dancer remains my all-time favourite Shinobi game.

@OutofPrintArchive @ishambard I'm aware that you did not ask but I can confirm that Shadow Dancer is the best Shinobi game. 😉
