Well Clement, it just struck me that for those who believe beat em ups are
symple there should probably be an explanation.
Were I my brother, and thus more interested in the competative and strategic
aspects of gaming rather than it's plot and general detail, I'd have

Yes, Startropics was an extremely good game for the NES. Besides the

My purpose isn't to convert people to fighting games... that kind of
thing just seems pointless to me as I don't see why people should
play something they're not into. I'm just trying to broaden the
horizons a bit, and let people know what's out there. And this is the

It actually sounds like our motivations for playing games are quite similar,

Hi clemment.
Originally, back in the 80's and 90's, The term beat em ups applied to any
game with large sprites where you smacked other people in.
This split into what were called walk along beat em ups, ie, final fight,
streets of rage, golden axe etc, and one on one, ie, street fighter,
say the monsters didn't like her Smile

Hi Michael,
Most definitely. Final Fantacy had not only a good story line, cool
characters, but the music is pretty awesome as well. It probably is
the best vidio game series of all time. Too bad nobody can get the
rights to make an accessible version, and even if they did it would

yeah, though that is another thing we can do different action scenes
could have different music but again that only goes so far to.
