    This was my favorite beat-em-up as a kid, and still holds a place in my heart. Thank you for covering this!
    PS: There's a cheat for 30 continues if you hold L , R, and Select on the 2nd controller and reset the game, and release them when the title screen appears.

    I'm convinced the arcade original was meant to be Double Dragon 3 at one point. Especially as the actual Double Dragon 3 is universally hated.

      I grew up with The Combatribes at my local bowling alley. Believe it or not, they also had that weird Qix-like puzzle game that would reveal pictures of women, but every couple of seconds, the pictures would become horrifying abominations.

    My grandfather used to have this arcade in his general store and I put in a ton of hours into it. I never knew it had a home release until I started looking up retro games list , and while the arcade game is superior there is something about playing beat em ups with a controller that is more satisfying to me. Another great game that had two decent home ports is Cadash here's hoping you'll get around to reviewing that one day. Love the videos man... especially the import games that never reached the states because it lets me know which games are worth the purchase...

    I was going to start a youtube channel for those looking for pure classic games content, and less annoying wannabe youtube directors (like AVGN). Your channel fills that void for me now. I'm glad I found it. I especially like the SNES action-rpg video. You dont do redundant things and make the videos about you. You have a simple, streamlined intro. So many youtube reviewers think people are here to watch them and their shitty directing/jokes. I'm here for the game content. Accessible and to the point. Great videos. Ive found a lot of interesting games to play now through your descriptions.

  • @ScottyPhoton
    @ScottyPhoton 5 лет назад

    This is one of those more nostalgic games because I remember renting it and liking it, but didn't go past a few rentals. For a number of years I was trying to figure out which game it was. I eventually found a cart locally last year and picked it up.

    I remember renting this as a kid, I can still picture that box sitting on the shelf at the local Video Action rental store (We didn't have Blockbuster). I'm pretty sure I rented it because it looked like a Final Fight / Double Dragon type clone, which it was. It entertained me for the weekend, then I never thought of it again until I saw this video and it all came back to me. Not a great game, but not bad either, worth the $3 rental fee back in the day :)

    The Combatribes is one of my pet favorites from childhood, and still is today. It's a game I rented so many times from the early to late '90s... I love that it takes place in bite-sized arenas as you mentioned. It always made it feel a little more real to me as a kid. What gang takes over entire countries? Whereas here Martha Splatterhead and her gang took over parts of New York which is much more feasible. But realism aside, this game just has a charm to it that takes me back to the early days of the SNES.

    this game had potential in the arcades. the moves against the enemies were not seen up to that point. but the bosses were quarter eaters and there were hits from them you could not avoid. and games where they make it so you automatically get hit and take damage no matter what you do just sucks. I still play this game on Mame sometimes where it doesn't matter because I have unlimited quarters.

      double dragon in the arcade is the original side scrolling beat em up. so I have to go with that. some dude redid it and it's called double dragon reloaded. and it takes the best things from 1,2,3 and combines them into double dragon 1,2 arcade graphics.
