The next game on the club is one of my faves so I have chosen this one. I've been playing the remake on the pc alot lately and it's got me in the mood for this. Released in 1992 by sega and a ridiculous 9 months later in Europe, at the time it blew all other scrolling beat em ups out of the water. Here's some info links about the game and Yuzo Koshiro who did the soundtrack.

If anyone wants to post there highest scores for completing it please do so if you wish. The main tip I have is the harder the difficulty the more bonus points you get at the end of each round.

Completed with 6 lives remaining on NORMAL difficulty.

Score:679,480

Still need to finish on HARD.

Streets of Rage 2 is one of my all-time favourite titles for the Genesis. :)

I might try and beat that this weekend. Kids are away so I got time to kill. Im just gonna go straight on hard mode see how long I last.
Just thought i'd ask what character does everyone use when you play this? Im always Axel. I love his specials.

Well this one was popular. Quite surprising considering a few regs bought that Sega compilation a few weeks back. I do have the game myself but my Mega Drive is little more than a plastic cadaver so I'll probably have to join the rest of the board in giving this one a miss.

I only have this, Sonic 1 and Dick tracy for my mega drive so I was gonna do a retro club on one of em. Have to admit SOR doesn't seem as popular as I first thought. Saying that I think it's been discussed a few times before. Not alot you can add to it really.

I enjoy Axel hands down. :) I like his specials as well. I played on Hard a few times and could not pass level 7 for the life of me....I had a decent score, but could not beat it.

I didn't actually get a chance to play this at the weekend. I was going to but just had a drink instead.

I just played through this game the other night. I still like the original the best. I feel that the levels get longer and longer from on to the next.
