The arcade was a great beat-em up. But the home ports really took a big hit.

Don't know. Genesis version has faster input than the arcade version and was decent.

Favorite one that I've played would be the original Viewtiful Joe. It's one of the only games where I bothered with the higher difficulties.

I can always get into a game or two ... Or 50 ... Of "Golden Axe 2" or "Golden Axe 3" (I like the controls and combos better in 2 & 3, than I do in the first game).

What did you like about Golden Axe 2? I have seen it called a 'soulless sequel' (nintendolife), but it has always interested me. I only played a little bit on the Genesis collection for the PS2.

To the OP: SoR2, Golden Axe (arcade), Double Dragon (arcade), Double Dragon 2 (NES), Knights of the Round... and I'm going to go out on a limb and say Brawl Brothers. Not the best, but it deserves some lovin'.

If you like Golden Axe, then there's not reason not to like Golden Axe II. It's more of the same, just with some different bad guys and different creatures that you ride.

I have also read that throwing enemies also knocks other enemies down. Sounds like a +1 in my book. Is this the one with branching paths?

Beat-em ups are where you beat-up hordes of enemies, often followed-up with an end-level boss. Tekken is a 1-on-1 fighting game. A little bit different.

He's probably referring to the beat 'em up mini game called, "Tekken Force", which pitted the player in various stages against enemies in a side-scrolling fashion.  It was a new game mode added to the Tekken franchise first seen in Tekken 3.

That's cool. I didn't know that. Kind of like the opposite of the NES version of Double Dragon having that extra 1-on-1 fighting mode.

Streets of Rage 2 had a 1-on-1 fighting mode too, come to think of it. Didn't know the NES Double Dragon had one though.

Streets of Rage series. Nothing else comes close to me. I can't put my finger on it, but the combat in those games feels really good compared to everything else on the market. Maybe because you had so many moves and options on how to attack that you could develop your own style of playing in addition to having to figure out the weaknesses of the enemies, while other games it was just you doing the same canned thing over and over and over again.

So does Turtles in Time. I remembered playing the beat em' mode a lot in Tekken 5, I didn't remember if the games before that had it or not.
