Retro Classix: Bad Dudes

I used to go to Pistol Pete's Pizza back in '88 practically once a week just to play this in the arcade when I was 10 years old in the fourth grade. The NES/Famicom port was "okay" but it never lived up to the arcade experience to me. Here I am at age 43, thirty three years later and I FINALLY have this sucka Arcade Perfect. (No I never bothered with MAME). For fans of roving brawlers / beat 'em ups (especially...

Bad Dudes Vs Dragon Ninjas I was lucky enough to play this classic when it came out in the Arcades and on the NES. This is a repackage of the Nintendo Switch port done a little while back. It is a good port it plays the way it should, it is however a little bare bones in the option settings, a few screen choices and not much more, sadly It does not have a difficulty select or anything available, these were quarter...

Exciting, ninja-based 80's action. Your mission if you choose to accept it is to rescue the President of the United States, Ronald "Ronnie" Reagan. You basically just spam the attack button the whole way, but you can also charge it for a power punch. The emulation is good enough, was nice to revisit this game.

"Being bad never felt so good" You can beat the game around 20 minutes, but the childhood memories last for a life time. Pros: - Good old beat 'em up action direct from the 80's arcades - Cooperative action for two players - A very nice soundtrack - The President is a cool american guy - You can kick ninja butts as an american warrior - Smells like lemon Cons: - Lack of achievements. Even a game for literal little...

This is probably moot because you can't buy this anymore, but I just did not like this game. I like arcade beat'em ups but this one just did not click with me. The enemies are all just kind of annoying to fight.
