@addyb
Might I suggest you add Alien vs Predator and Armored Warriors (both for FinalBurn Alpha) to that list? They are 2 of my favourites.

Chrono Trigger for SNES is awesome. I spend a lot of time playing OPENTTD. I love this game.

Charco

@mattrixk @addyb Don't forget Streets of Rage Remake!

Yeah I have that setup mate. It's brilliant isn't it? Soo much content.

I'm going to have to get that. I grew up with Bare Knuckle 3 on Mega Drive. I loved it, even though all the text was in a language I couldn't read.

Charco

Another good arcade beat 'em up is Metamorphic Force by Konami. Not sure if it runs on the Pi though. Oh, and try the Knights of Valour games by IGS too.

addyb

I'm having a snes beat em up session tonight.

Have my choice of all these :)

Double dragon
Ninja warriors
Final fight trilogy
Knights of the round
Batman returns
Battle toads
DD & the toads
Xmen
War of the gems
Maximum carnage
Separation anxiety
Captain commando
Turtles in time
Saturday night slam masters

Charco

@addyb I'd stick with the arcade versions of any of those if they had one, apart from Turtles in Time, I think the SNES version is better for that one :)

addyb

I might do. I just prefer having limited continues on the console ports. Makes me play them properly.

Charco

@addyb Ah yes I get you. Pirates of Dark Water on SNES might be worth trying too in that case if you are sticking to console beat 'em ups. Quite good.

addyb

@Charco

Cheers mate. Never heard of that surpringly. Looks decent enough:)

addyb

Decided to play final fight 2 as I bypassed that originally. I'm glad I did. It's bland as hell.

Charco

It really is, its only saving grace was the co op. It's a pity Final Fight wasn't released a bit later than it was on SNES, a 16 or 24 meg cart would have made a better arcade port than we ended up with.

addyb

Is final fight 3 better? If not I'll move onto the next on the list which is knights of the round.

To quote myself no its actually pretty good. Helps that guy is back in it.

Charco

@addyb Yep FF3 is better for sure and I agree having Guy back helps. They should have stuck with the original 3 characters if you ask me, I don't think I liked any of the new ones in FF2 or FF3.

addyb

I finished FF3 last night. Yep I enjoyed it. I liked the super move additions. They have seriously nerfed andore though. I used to hate facing them on FF but here they are cake.

Started legend of the mystical ninja on snes last night. I used to love that game. Today I'll carry on with my beat em ups and maybe get some shmups in.

addyb

I must have had uber skills when I was younger as I remember getting quite far on batman returns and Battle toads. Not today when I'm pushing 40 lol. Barely got past the 1st stage on toads.

meleu

@addyb play Battletoads with retroachievements enabled! ;-)
