Legend - pay enemies to be your fighting force Kamikaze Cabbie - seems like an early inspiration for Crazy Taxi, you can destroy the other cars your size, but anything larger destroys you, and you need to watch your gas level. The Gunforce games(the 2nd one separates the words in it's title) are predecessors to the Metal Slug series.
DENJIN MAKAI 2 ROM SERIES
Sort of an isometric dungeon crawler series in Dark Seal and Wizard Fire.Įlevator Action Returns(also on the Saturn) is probably the most improved sequel I've ever played. Pong/Air Hockey types as characters with powers: Kicker(screen might scroll a bit, but it's essentially the same idea of clearing the screen of enemies)
The Outfoxies - basically a 2D arena fighter If you like this: Risky Challenge is it's predecessor. Also has a bit of an adventure element where you're looking for keys, and the room to use them in, or you get the bad ending. I'll throw a few more out there, non-beat 'em up this time:Īvenging Spirit - play as a ghost that possesses his enemies 1 at a time, and uses their abilities against the others. I would love if something like that existed: half RPG, half beat-'em-up. This might not be what you intended, but I now wonder if there are any RPG beat-'em-up hybrids out there, because that sounds pretty groovy. Another good one by them though, is Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode III, never left Japan, plays similarly to Golden Axe(still worth checking out if you're not into GA). You do not want to play the majority of their beat 'em up input. Night Slashers is by Data East, who you'd think of Bad Dudes/Two Crude Dudes when it comes to beat 'em ups.ĭungeon Magic is by Taito. Ninja Baseball Bat Man and Undercover Cops(also ported to the Super Fami) are by Irem, who's beat 'em up input you'd most associate with Kung Fu/Spartan X and Vigilante. The Denjin Makai series(includes Ghost Chaser Densei, something of a port of the first Denjin Makai on the Super Fami) for example, is by WinkySoft, of the Robot Wars series. Sometimes you really gotta step outside your comfort zone with an open mind, and in my opinion the best come from the developers you don't expect.
Yeah, hope you don't take it as an attack or something, but as a beat 'em up fan myself, I get sick of seeing the same old nostalgia games considered the best.
