Crime Fighters (Arcade) - Playthrough
3In this video, I'm doing a playthrough of a game that I really wanted to do, because I have seen an Arcade cabinet of this game when I was younger. That game is: Crime Fighters for the Arcade. This game was developed and published by Konami, it was only released in the Arcade in 1989. Crime Fighters is a side-scrolling beat 'em up that the player takes control of an undercover police officer who is assigned to rescue a group of kidnapped girls from a crime boss. This game was released in April 1989, then the same year came: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which was released in the Arcade in October 1989. I'm playing the US version, which contains 4 players and has health points, because the 2 players version has a set of lives and a standard life meter. Players start in the first level of play, the subway. Upon knocking down the first few enemies, a large icon instructs player to kick downed opponents. There are buttons to punch and kick; pressing both performs a spinning jump kick. It is also possible to grab enemies and attack them, as well as kick them in the groin to stun them. Many enemies have weapons. Certain enemies always use knives to attack, while some "punk" enemies will have lead pipes and later enemies have handguns. Upon killing these enemies a player may pick up a weapon and use it indefinitely (including handguns in the two-player versions), however if players are hit once, the players will drop the item and it will disappear (except for the handguns in the four player versions, provided that they have ammo). In the final stage, the final boss throws a key to the players and tells them to pick it up. Doing so will allow the boss to pull out a machine gun and shoot at the players. Should the player run out of health at this point, the game will end and a bad ending will be seen with the final boss telling the players to try again. The player however can choose not to get the key and kick the main villain repeatedly until he is defeated. Upon winning the game, player will then be subjected to a difficult final all boss round where the players must kill every boss in the game, who all appear on screen at once. I think that this playthrough without doing a difficult final all boss round is good enough for me or it will be a very long video. Overall, Crime Fighters is a good beat 'em up game by Konami, because there is a sequel called: Vendetta (Crime Fighters 2 in Japan) in which I did a video of that game a while back. I hope you enjoy this playthrough of Crime Fighters for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
