Also available on the Virtual Console This is the quintessential co-op NES game. The story's simple. Slick has stolen your girl (Cyndi), and you and your buddy (Ryan and Alex, in the game) are going to get her back. In your way are a whole score of River City's nastiest delinquents. At your disposal are chains, bats, tires, and trash cans. Screwing around is half the fun of the game, as there's no time limit on finishing and plenty of shops to spend your thug money at. Enjoyable by yourself, but infinitely better with a friend. This game was made for co-op. | |
