Game Play

Players advance through four stages. You  start in a street, move into a factory, through a jungle/forest then  end up in a castle. There are a variety of moves such as back-kicks,  elbows, head-butts, uppercuts, knee-ing in the face and throws. You can  steal weapons from enemies such as knives, clubs, whips and dynamite  among others and use them against any of the enemies. You can also use  oil drums, crates and big rocks to throw at your enemies. Not much else  to do except walk along and beat the crap out of anyone in your way  until you finish the game.

The third level is quite long, so unless you have played the game a  lot you may not be able to complete this stage within the time limit, in  which case you will lose a life. There are also instant die situations  when you must jump over a bridge and holes.

The fourth level is very short. It only contains about six enemies!

The player can play either Billy blue, blonde, and blue eyes, player 1, or Jimmy red, brunette, and green eyes, player 2

Enemies:

• Williams - Generic punk. Not very strong but he wields a variety of weapons such as baseball bats, dynamite and daggers.
• Lopar - He is a bit stronger than Williams and likes to throw away stuff like oil drums, rocks and boxes.
• Lindas - Female punk who usually carries a whip. She's very fragile and does not appear as often as the other enemies.
• Bolo - The big guy. He's very strong and likes to throw away people.
• Abobo  - The first boss, who bears a resemblance to Mr. T. He's just like  Bolo. A green version of Abobo appears in the end of Mission 3.
• Jeff  - The second boss. This guy looks just like your character and he is  every bit as good. He can easily escape from your grasp.
• Willy - The big boss. Armed with a machinegun and not afraid to use it.
