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!

I played Game Gear Streets of Rage and... Well, there was Rage.
Just not in the Streets 😂

I’m still surprised at how vastly different the MS and GG versions were.
Both in looks and feel. From movement to the actual fighting.
You’d think since the GG can play MS games it would be easier to do a quick port. But Ancient actually created a completely separate version.
Sadly the GG version has a lot of downsides though.
