I remember seeing this gaem at my local small town arcade years ago...I thought back then it looked cool like a very gritty, street and nasty beat 'em up!!! Nice playthrough!!!
Ah, this game. I remember that some people in the arcade near mine can't pass the 3rd stage, not because of the difficulty but mostly fr laugh, from the Village People-like enemy that do you from behind.
And don't forget most important: STOP REAL CRIME. Because the gangs were just trying to have a little fun, like, they just wanted to play Monopoly and needed the girl to play banker.
Nice work. I keep hearing folks online say that the Missing Link is a tough boss, but I've always found him one of the easier villains on this game. Always nice to see those dominatrix minions.
Well, he's got those unpredictable slower chain-punches which can throw you up a wall and take half of the energy (during the first attack phase he's either unhittable OR absorbs a lot of damage, unsure) + the same, but a lot faster that can interrupt your combos, so I wouldn't say he's one of the easiest, quite the opposite, but I'm glad he's easy at least for somebody else : P
Love the absurdity of this. Only in 90s side-scrolling beat 'em ups can you get such outlandish weapons as: chains, baseball bats with nails in them, an oversized buzzsaw, even a frigging anchor!
This was my favorite of this game type, followed closely by X-men and a little behind that the ninja turtles. Vendetta always felt the most polished, the characters all play rather differently(I liked the green mohawk dude the best) and the weapons and enemies on the stages were fun and brought challenge. I haven't seen this game anywhere in YEARS.
Absolutely the best brawler ever. It's not nearly the cheap button masher most other brawlers are, and if definitely gives you the feeling of beating the absolute shit out of punks.
"Hawk Hogan" - is that a piss take of how the Ultimate Warrior used to pronounce it, during the calm 'build up' to the more explosive, vein-popping parts of his promos?
I always wanted to play this game. At the beach, my mother had given me a dollar. Then a marine was asking me a bunch of questions so I left. Never saw it again but did Google arcade with Hulk Hogan and found it. Thank you
The Rude Brothers somehow remind me of those Blues Brothers-style twins from The Simpsons Arcade Game... and coincidentally or not, both duos have height difference (giant and midget), employ occasional team attacks and are boss 3 of their respective games... difference is, in the Simpsons game the taller one almost always collapses first.
Vinícius Valois Actually, in most Konami games there is a variation of this boss. Go play the 1st Castlevania, and you'll notice Frankenstein's monster and Igor boss mirror THIS boss.
That weird feeling when a game starring Dennis Rodman, Hulk Hogan, Jean Claude Van Damme and Mr. T turns out to be one awesome brat 'em up XD Also, I still say you should totally play Violent Storm ^^ Or if you wanna go REALLY obscure, try Franko: The Crazy Revenge for the Amiga XD
+Fernando Sau Wouldn't say so. After the main "video games make kids violent" craze, Mike's agents made sure he wouldn't be associated with any games, from breaking the contract with Nintendo on US versions of Punch-Out games, to threatening Capcom over Mike Bison before SF2 hit the US market. So it's doubtful any company at the time would risk including a Tyson lookalike in their game.
@@MidBoss666 Then again, Blood looks NOTHING like Dennis Rodman, man, and is way more similar to Mike Tyson. That's what I heard, too. Somebody also mentioned Wesley Snipes, and I'd that's not a bad association either.
Franko isn't obscure. It's supposed to be based on streets of Poland (80's/90's time), however thankfully it wasn't that bad. At least from what I remember. And it was also released on PC, no need to play Amiga version.
Are you really telling me a man carrying a chainsaw would loss to a man who clearly is a Hogan knockoff with no weapons and not get hit once 😂😂got damn I love video games 💀
The only thing Hawk can't do very well: fighting bosses, because his special grab have no effect on them, unlike the other characters' special grabs. (though he's very good fighting Missing Link; try to kick Missing Link when Link is performing his jumping attack: Hawk's kick will bring him near and floored, open to receive ground attacks.)
I remember the days before "Boomer" became a sarcastic jibe at older people, it use to be the name for a pet of the 70's Battlestar Galactica. Now i learn that inbetween those years it was also the name given to an angry martial artist. Because nothing strikes fear more then knowing you face "Boomer"
Thankfully tho ; the japanese version had gay leather-clad man (looking like the guy from Village People) attacking you in different.. ways. These were also featured in the first part of the game (Crime Fighters).
Why’s the girl just standing there during the boss rush? She’s not even tied down or anything. It would be cool if she became playable in Violent Storm.
This is decent wicked style beat'em up That I never seen before and I'm 41 years old!! To bad Konami never made a home console version. It seems like because of the awsome sound it seem like this game is running of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in time Arcade engine 🧐
you can get this game on the Nintendo eshop now. It was recently released in the Arcade Archives series, they have lot of arcade classics for switch. 8 bucks a game regular price.
You'd think after repeatedly beating beaten into a wall with a bat studded with nails by a guy who is built like a brick shithouse, these goons would be like "maybe I should just stay down...."
Bajandole el nivel de dificultad al juego, cualquiera le gana a los jefes sin sufrir daño alguno!! Hubiera subido un video, luego de haber pasado la final un par de veces, sin tocar la configuración, ahí se se ve que tan bueno eras!!!
Hulkamania is running wild, brother.
OOOHHHH YEEEAAAHHH!!!
And he gas more Talent that the actual Hulkster......BBBRROOTTHHEERRRRRRRRR
"we kidnapped a chick."
lmao.
Straight to the point. XD
Wasting no time.
Atleast they're honest about it.
16-bit video game storylines are so hilarious, especially in hindsight!
@@flossbee Yeah, Anita Sarkeesian would have some shit to say about this, am I right?
Hulk Hogan seems to have a little beer belly.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it. But this is what peak performance looks like.
:^)
John Doe The Dad bod?
Hand me a beer brother
Because hulkamania is running thirsty
Yeah....It looks like Hulkamania ran wild over the salad bar too many times!
The best death scream EVER in video game history 😂😂😂🤦🏽♀️💀
LMAO 😆 😆😆 😆😂 😂
OMW LMAO
It's like the guy is falling from a skyscrapper. So dramatic! XD
*YES!!!* 🤣
@@MrDibara *XDDDDDDDDDDDDD*
The Rude Brothers run a secret casino, you can't miss it, it's the one with the lit up sign.
Changing my phone notification sound to the boss death scream
6:17 thats the first time I've ever seen a dog elbow dropped to death lol
Mike tyson, Hulk Hogan, Jean Claude VanDamme and Mr. T
and Missing Link looks like Mankind / Cactus Jak from WWF lol
Indeed, the alternative universal versions of said famous people who live right in this universe.
The guy with the sunglasses looks more like wesley snipes
Some people say that the black guy is Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay): "Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee..."

Those slime balls were hardcore af
Nice work.
I keep hearing folks online say that the Missing Link is a tough boss, but I've always found him one of the easier villains on this game.
Always nice to see those dominatrix minions.
l0stndamned prob because he jumped around a lot.
I used to play a lot this game at arcades and Missing Link is not so hard as long you´re cautious.
He looks like biker Grendel
He’s based on wrestlers Pampero Firpo and Bruiser Brody
Well, he's got those unpredictable slower chain-punches which can throw you up a wall and take half of the energy (during the first attack phase he's either unhittable OR absorbs a lot of damage, unsure) + the same, but a lot faster that can interrupt your combos, so I wouldn't say he's one of the easiest, quite the opposite, but I'm glad he's easy at least for somebody else : P

That is a hard game. All the Bosses in one go at the end, a great idea and great test of skill.

Wesley Snipes, Hulk Hogan, Dolph Lundgren and Mr. T. Thats some badass 80s right there.
Troque Snipes por Tyson e Lundgren por Van Damme...
@@quickfire9102 You're right, but when you think of it, Dolph Lundgren visually suits Boomer more (even if he wasn't planned as a basis here).
this is what Hulk Hogan looks like in his off season
I have loved this game so deeply
6:39 that was a Metal Slug enemy death scream and you can't change my mind.
"Hawk Hogan" - is that a piss take of how the Ultimate Warrior used to pronounce it, during the calm 'build up' to the more explosive, vein-popping parts of his promos?
Wow i must admit i've never seen this game before. Awesome post!!!! The early 90's will always be the coolest time period ever.
waaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
4:23 the dude is setting himself on fire
This game was very creative with the pick up weapons, moreso than most others of the genre
The best is that slo mo “WEEERRRRRRGGGHHHH” after you kick them when they’re already down.
So Hulk Hogan named himself "Hawk..."
ok. and 01:24 Bruiser Brody
I just love that throw of his: "Bitch get outta mah wayee!"
Me acuerdo de este juego.
Lo jugaba con mi hermano.
I always wanted to play this game. At the beach, my mother had given me a dollar. Then a marine was asking me a bunch of questions so I left. Never saw it again but did Google arcade with Hulk Hogan and found it. Thank you
Should have told that marine to
Get lost.
Love the vids man, keep it up! =D
Thanks! ;)
Loved this back in the day
Dude looks like hacksaw Jim dugen
fuaaa que vicio!!!buen vidio chabal!!!

Guess they were inspired from Master Blaster from Mad Max.
They are a tribute paid to Horace Belger from Final Fight.

Same attack pattern as well.
*Fun fact: Hawk it's actually supposed to be representing Hulk Hogan he is also a former wrestler*
This is so great! I never knew this game existed.
Blood > Boomer > Hawk > Sledge.
Awesome game, Violent Storm next pls :)
1:14 And then they crashed into a concrete wall. The End. XD
𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆.
It's a shame this never came out for consoles, too many classic arcade games have faded into obscurity because of that.
I have the arcade pcb to all three games in the trilogy
Thx god we got emulators for both pc and mobile devices
@@niceguy60 Three?
@@NesrocksGamingVideos
Crime Fighters
Vendetta
Violent Storm
@@niceguy60 Violent Storm is a bit unofficial in being a sequel to this great game : P
Man...Hulk Hogan was way more intense then I remember...
WHATCHA GONNA DO, BRA? WHEN I UNLEASH THE FULL MIGHT OF HULKAMANIA ON YOU???!!!
XD
He's even got Hogan's steroid gut
Damn. Dude is a beast in this game. How did he not get hit 1 time, against the Rude Bros.
Wait a second!
Hawk bares a striking resemblance to. Hulk Hogan.
And... The name is similar!
What Gives?
When you gotta skip out on the Royal Rumble because the local goons done kidnapped a chick!
Yeah whoop them like Vampire Hunter D.
While fighting to make 1st place on my Switch, the Rude Brothers gave me a hard time.
"Revenge... is... SWEET!"
Are you really telling me a man carrying a chainsaw would loss to a man who clearly is a Hogan knockoff with no weapons and not get hit once 😂😂got damn I love video games 💀
Buzzsaw, but still
Looks like hogan strutting in heels when moving.

9:01 Does anybody notice Dracula's evil laugh from Castlevania Chronicles here?
It feels really awkward at first, but is actually a really good game once you get used to it
What you gonna do, brother, when Hulk Hogan is smashing wild on youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu??????
4:24 9001 IQ
The ending boss fight caught me by surprise.
Did you just People's Elbow a dog?
The dog will do worse to you if you let it
The dog probably thought he had treats for him....
Oh. I didn't not know that.
Japanese version only though, FYI
Duly noted lol
I remember the days before "Boomer" became a sarcastic jibe at older people, it use to be the name for a pet of the 70's Battlestar Galactica.
Now i learn that inbetween those years it was also the name given to an angry martial artist. Because nothing strikes fear more then knowing you face "Boomer"
I never seen this game in the American arcades as a child and I’m 34 now
BLOOD
HAWK
BOOMER
AND SLEDGE
STAND THERE GROUND IN DEAD-END CITY
IN VENDETTA -AKA- CRIME FIGHTERS 2 (JAPAN)
Do you stream these games on Twitch.Tv too?
I remember watching speed run of this on agdq. American version got censored.
Thankfully tho ; the japanese version had gay leather-clad man (looking like the guy from Village People) attacking you in different.. ways. These were also featured in the first part of the game (Crime Fighters).
Nice video, but it's either lowest difficult or savestates, or both. Moving on...
Somebody stole Mr. X's tommy gun! 🔫
One of My favorite games of the past i love it
For me the best is the man with Yellow shirt
Legal, não conhecia este jogo...!!!!
You can tell it's Konami, with the music alone.
and composed nonetheless by Michiru Yamane, the one of Castlevania, Symphony of the Night.
konami arcade bgm always sounds epic.
What... was the point of the extra zone, if there's no surprise final boss worthy of it? Oh, and congratulations for the ending, no boring at all...
Guess you didn't play the first game
I can't stop laughing at how hard some of them get dismantled.
Am I honestly the only person who shouted "Suck brick kid!!!" When he throws the brick at the boss
02:40 Good!
HAWK KOGAN AND THE 24 INCH PYTHONS BROTHER
Missin link is mark henry vs hulk hogan
great game... amazing player.
Wish to God that they would release this game on console.
Your wish has been granted now that Vendetta (along with Crime Fighters) is out on NS & PS4.
Why’s the girl just standing there during the boss rush? She’s not even tied down or anything. It would be cool if she became playable in Violent Storm.
Agreed.

Im going to whip the shit out of you brother!!!!!!!!!
Because hulkamania is running castlevania
Hogan went caveman on that dominatrix broad.
Faust looks a lot like Astaroth from Ghosts n Goblins. SLIME BALLS RULE-OK.
maybe based on him... who knows...
El Patron I see the resemblance. If anything, Konami ripped off Capcom's MEGAMAN boss re-fights.
He has the great mutas mist attack
Yey!!!!!! :D
3rd boss looks like Horace Belger from Final Fight, but without his wheelchair.
When Conor McGregor knocks people out, I wish they’d go “Waaaahhhhhh!”
