It's a side-scrolling beat them up video game initially released as an arcade game back in 1989. The game is set in the fictional Metro City in the United States of America. You control one of the three fighters: Mike Haggar, Cody and Guy. They hit the streets to stop the Mad Gear gang who kidnaps Mike Haggar's daughter. It's one of the greatest side-scrolling beat-'em-up of all time. It has some of the most amazing enemies in this category of games history, a great combat system, and an ultimate action-hero Metro City mayor Mike Haggar.
Two players can play the game simultaneously. Before the game starts, the player chooses between Haggar, Guy and Cody. Each fighter has his qualities and fighting style. For both players and enemies, there is a health gauge displayed on the screen. Players can grab the enemy by merely walking into them. When the players hold the enemy, they can perform the grab attack or a throw. For additional damage, players can throw the enemy again. If the player stands over the enemy, they can get other items such as weapons and health recovery points. The guns have limited use, and if the players get disarmed by an enemy or move to a new area, then the weapons disappear.
There are a total of six stages and two bonus rounds. Each round happens in different segments of Metro City like the Subway and the Slums. Each stage has a unique boss, which the player faces at the end of the level.
