Undercover Cops Arcade (Japan)
25The Japanese arcade version differs from the World and USA version in several respects.
The characters have a number of moves not seen in the World and USA version, including dash + jump attacks, up to two different kinds of throws, and a powerful airborne special attack.
The backgrounds and graphics are also different, especially at the start of Level Two and the end of Level Three.
The music in the Japanese version has a more electronic feel and includes more voice samples. Some enemies carry broken bottles, knives and axes (in the World version these are replaced by planks and clubs).
The mole creatures are weaker, taking only one hit to kill. Players' jump attacks do less damage, but their wider range of attacks makes them much more versatile.
Players control "city sweepers," who fight crime by beating up thugs I played Rosa Felmond a tough blonde female vigilante whose lover was murdered by thugs. She is fast and easy to use. She can send surrounding waves of energy if surrounded by enemies.
The game is notable for its detailed backgrounds and grimy futuristic setting. For its time, it was relatively gory, featuring crow-pecked skeletons in the midst of its urban wastelands or lose a life by being crushed by a garbage compactor during the first boss battle.
While the gameplay is inspired by Capcom's Final Fight, some of the enemies are unique. Besides the usual human thugs, players fight strange mole creatures and mutants with jet packs and blades for hands.
Players can never use enemy weapons, but the stages contain objects that can be picked up and used instead such as burning oil drums, steel girders, long concrete columns that shatter on impact, boxes of grenades and fish. The characters eat mice, frogs, birds and snails to restore their health.
On the small red TV items, you can see that they have a picture of the boss from Stage 1 of "R•Type".
The Police 'car' at the end of Undercover Cops looks (and acts) just like "Moon Patrol", which is also from Irem.
