Mixing the best elements of Technos&#8217; Double Dragon and Capcom&#8217;s Final Fight (then the two most recent evolutionary steps in the walk &#8216;n brawl genre), flavor from Sega&#8217;s own Golden Axe system (complete with smart bomb attacks), and a heaping dose of their own style, Noriyoshi Ohba and his team created a solid classic. The game still outshines brawlers on far more powerful systems, especially the legendary soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro. <\/p>\n<p>Bare Knuckle made its way to the U.S. a few weeks later under the Streets of Rage moniker. Expect another ScrollBoss update dedicated to the game (and series) on that.
