Is it still worth playing?
Ancient's 1992 side scrolling beat 'em up for the Sega Genesis, for one or two players. Mr. X and the Syndicate return for revenge and kidnap Adam, Skate's older brother, and Axel, Blaze, Skate and Max set out to rescue him. Four characters, Axel, Blaze, Skate and Max, each have a Blitz Attack, and a special attack that costs health clears a crowd. Max is slow but strong, while Skate is fast and the only one who can dash. There are eight stages, from a city street to an island base, with weapons and items to pick up, and a Duel mode. Characters differ in stats and moves, and each enemy has its own recognizable attack pattern, so learning them still pays off today in fast combat that chains jabs, strings and specials.
