The Dark Queen and her pigs are at it again. While witnessing the unveiling of a new virtual reality contraption, the Battletoads are surprised by four Psyko Pigs who crash into the room and kidnap Michiko Tashoku, daughter of the president of the corporation that created the machine. Zitz tries to prevent their escape, but he is knocked unconscious and taken away also. Now it is up to the remaining Battletoads, Rash and Pimple to rescue their buddy and Michiko in this side-scrolling punch and kick game.

This game can be played with one or two players, just like in the NES version. Both Battletoads are capable of many special fighting moves. The Sidearm Slice, Big Boot Block, and Ball 'N Chain are just a few of Rash's techniques. Pimple can execute, among other maneuvers, the Anvil Swipe, BT Big Hammer, Battletoad Butt, and Jaw-Buster. Throughout the eight levels of play, the 'Toads must face tons of obstacles, legions of Psyko Pigs, and a plethora of skeletons and other bad guys.

Pimple and Rash, two rad and bad toads, have been invited to take part in a demonstration by Professor T-Bird of the Gamescape, a powerful machine capable of creating an artificial world! Everything ran well until the villain of the game, the abominable Dark Queen (or Queen of Darkness), entered the scene and ordered her Pigs of the Apocalypse to capture all of those present to make them her slaves. The time of our heroes has arrived. It is time for them to rescue all of the staff and then put an end to the Queen of Darkness. But no matter how simple it may seem, the Dark Queen has prepared a legion of disciples to hinder the victory of the toads!

We were gonna go to this GWAR concert. Then Anderson's stupid dog, like, chewed up the tickets. Now you gotta help us find the pieces or somebody's gonna pay for it. Probably Beavis. Van Driessen tried to teach us, like, history. But we outsmarted him. Couch fishing rules. Unless there's something good on TV or something. Would you like flies to go with that mouseburger? Heh heh heh heh. At the Turbo Mall, you can meet wild creatures and stuff. Like us.

One of two titles released by the now defunct Motown Games -- who realized the obvious futility in creating games when lacking talent -- Bebe's Kids is an unpolished and shameful attempt at creating a side-scrolling beat-'em-up. While goals in some levels are varied, they can be quite inane, particularly one that involves breaking dishes while your babysitter attempts to catch them. Lashawn and Kahlil both possess standard and special attacks, but their control is frustratingly unresponsive. Colorful graphics are marred by a grittily drawn quality that makes them an eyesore, especially when combined with the choppy animation and lack of detail. Bebe's Kids' music is promising at first, featuring a MIDIfied Hip-Hop style, but after fifteen seconds, loops into a repetitive hell.

AKA BravoMan

The plot starts when Arnold (known in Japan as Hitoshi Nakamura), a typical insurance company salaryman (who is also a caricature of Namco's founder, Masaya Nakamura) encounters an alien name Alpha Man from Planet Alpha. Then Alpha Man tells Arnold that an evil scientist named Dr. Bomb is planning to set an "End the World" weapon. Then Alpha Man gives Arnold an odd metal rod, a fork and a coin, which turns him into Bravoman, a bionic tokusatsu hero who possesses telescopic limbs that can be used to fight against Dr. Bomb and his henchmen.

Gameplay:
Bravoman can mainly use his telescopic limbs to attack enemies. Depending on his position (jumping, crouching etc.) he will either use his arms, legs or head to attack. The arcade had 6 pressure sensitive buttons that allowed the player to control how strong an attack and how high a jump would be.

Most enemy projectiles can be blocked by Bravoman's attacks. Also, Bravoman can occasionally collect some bonuses giving him greater range, temporary invincibility, increased speed, powerful punches, the ability to fly through most of the level without being hurt or the ability to fire energy bolts for a short while. Bravoman can reach quite high when jumping. It essentially means performing an attack at the top of one's jump, which will cause Bravoman to stop for a while in mid-air. At that point, pressing the jump button again will result in a smaller, mid-air jump.

A sequel of sorts to Rival Turf, Brawl Brothers has more enemies and more moves than its progenitor, making it less repetitive and more enjoyable. Rival Turf veterans Hack and Slack make a return engagement, and are aided and abetted by Kazan (a ninja), Wendy (a pro wrestler), and Lord J (a black belt in karate). A special Angry Mode gives injured fighters a burst of energy, giving the game some oomph, and the graphics and music are nice, yet the controls lack the speed, precision, and polish of such games as Streets of Rage, Street Fighter II, and Double Dragon.

This beat'em up game is the story of a green rabbit named Bucky O'Hare and his crew fighting to save the 'Aniverse' (Like our universe, just in another dimension with different planets) from the invading Toads ruled by a computer system known as KOMPLEX.

Based on the short-lived cartoon aired in 1991. Originally based upon the comic book created by Larry Hama in 1978, this was the first serious competitor to the TMNT because it wasn't completely children-oriented and the comic book wasn't a TMNT wannabe. However, due to poor distribution of the TV show and financial problems with the producers the show couldn't see a second season.

This game uses elements that are very similar to Konami's Crime Fighters: balanced character selection, objects and weapons found on the ground cause greater damage to opponents, and semi-interactive environments (players can damage objects like phone booths and street signs along the way.) To its credit, there is one element in the game that is slightly different from crime fighters The game contains some mini-stages, where the player must defeat some enemies in a short period of time in order to win prizes.

The Red Skull is out to conquer the world once again (like he ever does anything else), so it's up to Captain America and the Avengers to stop him and his army of thugs. Inspired by the DC Comics serials.

A sad platform beat-'em-up that could be a lot better than it actually is. Gameplay is decent enough, but the graphics are rough and the bad sound gets on your nerves after a while. Fans of the comic books will like it, but that's about it.

Captain America and the Avengers is a side-scrolling, hand-to-hand combat game.
Choose one of four characters to battle the Red Skull and his evil army: Captain America, Vision, Iron Man, or Hawkeye. Each character has
special weaponry and special abilities.

Characters in Captain America and the Avengers can pick up objects like tires, rocks,
barrels, and cars to use against enemies. As with most combat-style games, certain
enemies are more difficult to defeat than others.

Between levels, there are flying stages where the characters take to the air to fight
enemies. The flying stages require the heroes to destroy ships and flying enemies to
advance to the next ground stage.

Each character in Captain America and the Avengers possesses unique abilities.
Captain America throws his titanium shield to destroy enemies. Vision uses his
mind blast. Hawkeye shoots arrows with his bow, and Iron Man uses his
special armor's pulse cannons to do battle. Each character is also capable of a jumping attack.
With these special attacks, the character jumps into air, hovers there for a moment, and
then fires his weapon against enemies at ground level.

The ultimate goal of Captain America and the Avengers is to reach the Red Skull's
island and defeat him before he can conquer the Earth.
