12 Bloody and Bone-Crushing Arcade Beat 'Em Up Games
680Fancy getting to know a classic beat em up games where every punch and kick really hurts like your life is being ripped out of you (literally)? Then you've come to the right video.
The classic arcade era (mainly, 80s to 90s) were a period when the depiction of video game gore would be realized with ever greater detail – much to the consternation of media watchdogs, who commonly regarded games as bleepy toys for children. The mainstream furor which would greet Mortal Kombat was still just over the horizon, but from the start of the decade to its end, mischievous (and sometimes cynical, it has to be said) developers occasionally churned out surprisingly bloody and violent games to a ripple of mild controversy.
The brawler genre is a genre of a violent nature, but one that has surprisingly kept its gore levels to a minimum. There are exceptions, of course. In this video we will cover the history of arcade beat em up video games, in search of the most violent and bloodthirsty exponents ever made in those nostalgic years.
In this video you will find:
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation
• Info regarding average gameplay of every game
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in this video, as well as editing is completely done by me
Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.
Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.
I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.
Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.
I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
