You fucken brits. Beat 'em ups stands for Brawlers, you know final fight, D&D, stuff like that. I know you guys use the term to describe fighters which is dumb but so is the term beat 'em ups, too loosey goosey. Call it Brawlers, bad ass man call them Brawlers, Brawlers is where is at.

Take One

Dude: "Today I played a beat 'em up!"
Pal: "What the fuck is that supposed to mean you fucken fuck?"
Dude: "...aaarrrgggh..."

Take II

Dude: "Today I played a brawler!"
Pal: "Dude, you're awesome!"

Let the words do the work for you, don't settle for anything less, sound awesome!

I just picked that up on the last Steam sale. What it lacks in gameplay; it more than makes up for in humor and the great soundtrack.

Why do you say the gameplay is lacking?

It's not horrible by any means, but it just feels a kinda sluggish and unresponsive at times. Turtles in Time and RCR are my go to beat em ups; and Neon is in slow motion by comparison... the run button bothers me as well.

oh yeah the run button bugs me. Tap forward forward was introduced in what like 1990 and has been a staple since at least Final Fight 3. Why the heck is there a run button in this day and age?

Decent vacation. Played Turtles in Time arcade cabinet in an arcade, played a match of TMNT and Turtles in Time on XBL, plus got to get my stepdaughter to play TMNT on my ghetto cabinet once she saw me playing the random dude online..

Ninja Baseball Bat Man's got my attention pretty hard right now.

Oh and Re: Neon, the run button allows for some really cool canceling of attacks that makes the game a lot more dynamic and interesting.

I've been playing a bit of Double Dragon II: The Revenge on PC Engine. DD fans seem to rave about this version, but I think the NES version it's based on is superior.

The Nes version is better, but the PCE version is different in a good way. The music is pretty solid too.

Was just playing River City Ransom.

Played some Taito legends 2 today. I think the games were called Arabian Warrior and Dungeon Magic. Also Elevator Action 2 is fucking dope. Where has this game been all my life.
