Streets of Rage (also known as Bare Knuckle in Japan) ,It's the arcade grit, the synthesized beats, the satisfying thwack of a pipe connecting with a goon's face, all rolled into one glorious package. Released in 1991 by Sega, Streets of Rage burst onto the scene as a contender to the beat 'em up throne, and boy, did it deliver!

A corrupt syndicate, led by the mysterious Mr. X, has taken over the city, turning it into a den of crime and despair. The police are in their pocket, and the citizens are living in fear.

That's where you* come in. You choose to play as one of three ex-cops – Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, and Adam Hunter – who are fed up with the corruption and ready to take the law into their own hands. Armed with your fists, feet, and whatever weapons you can find lying around, you'll punch, kick, and smash your way through hordes of thugs, punks, and bizarre bosses to bring Mr. X and his cronies to justice.

Get ready for a side-scrolling slugfest that's pure, unadulterated fun. We're talking classic 16-bit action, addictive gameplay, and a soundtrack that will get your blood pumping. Welcome to the world of Streets of Rage – where justice is served with a knuckle sandwich!
