Although they don't get as much play these days, the 2D beat-em-up was a staple of the 1980s and 90s. Games like Double Dragon, Golden Axe and River City Ransom helped turn an admittedly simple genre into a system seller. But when it came to 16-bit brawlers, there were only two names that mattered -- Final Fight and Streets of Rage. Today we're going to take a look at what magazines like Electronic Gaming Monthly, Die Hard Game Fan, Mega Play and Computers + Video Games said at the time. And then we're going to crunch the numbers, deciding once and for which classic beat-em-up is king.
