Metro City streets serve as the backdrop for this side-scrolling beat-'em-up where players choose between three characters: Mike Haggar, Cody, or Guy. Using an eight-way joystick and two buttons, you engage the Mad Gear gang in combat to rescue Jessica. Cooperative play allows up to two players to fight simultaneously through the urban environments.
