Go suck it. There is no way Final Fight is better then SOR2. Unless your smoking crack. I don't care if Final Fight came first, but I'm going to respect your response some what although you said easy.

It's a witty (until you need to explain it longhand lol) way of saying "I agree with the above, nothing more needs to be said on the topic", mimicking the closing of an html-style tag.
But since we're all still here, I'll also include the dual screen 6-player X-Men cab as a nominee. That game was the SHIT back in '92.

See! That's what I'm talking about. X-Men! Excellent Beat'em up. Good choice.
Lets keep it going.
The Punisher, Any one?
The Simpsons?
Night Slashers?
Violent Storm?
C'mon, Lets get this popping.

I guess I'll also throw out:
Tecmo Knight
I know I already voted... I would still stay with AvP for overall playability, but you have to give it to Tecmo Knight on the shear brutality mark.

Aight, I'll bite.
I'm leading with probably the sleeper pick of the night...
Cyborg Justice for Genesis.
Somebody's gotta back me up on that. Best thing to ever come out of a KB Toys bargain bin (at my house, at least).

Ok, this was the reason I started this thread. I don't think I ever played Cyborg Justice or Tecmo Knight. Gonna check these out.

Another great unique one... Comix Zone for Genesis.
Never owned it but borrowed it from friends a bunch of times back in the day. It definitely was my cup of tea especially when I was deep in my heroin-like addiction to Image Comics at the time... One of the most innovative twists on the typical beat em up formula.

Golden Axe 2 Death Adders Revenge.
It's just so violent and beautifully animated. Why the fuck is hasn't had single port or inclusion in a compilation is utterly beyond me.

I would guess that Comix Zone doesn't come-up much in discussions about beat-'em-ups because it plays more like a platformer than a beat-'em-up. It plays in only two dimensions, is limited to one player, involves picking-up items for use later-on. Punching and kicking or not, in many ways, it feels more like Donkey Kong Country than Final Fight.

Comix Zone is excellent. I only found out about this game like 2 years ago. I was missing out.
My favorite Double Dragon. I'll even take it over the arcade version.
Golden Axe 2 Death Adders Revenge.

I feel you. Its the best Golden Axe out there. Think I'm gonna play this one all the way through tomorrow. Been trying to find the pcb for the longest, but every time it pops up, it sells for $150+.
