Crime Fighters icon Plenty of young and beautiful women are missing and the city's local kingpin is the main suspect. As a group of street vigilantes you must venture into the most dangerous zones of your city and destroy all street punks and criminals that are dumb enough to get in your way in order to rescue the girls! Features colorful graphics, a catchy soundtrack, some cool moves (such as striking downed enemies) and a good challenge. Like the idea of fighting to rescue a beautiful damsel in distress? Why not a huge bunch of 'em so its worth your time!

Some bosses' character design in this game seem to have been inspired by popular horror movies, this seems true for three bosses in particular:

Stage 2 Boss
A parody of Jason Voorhees from 'Friday the 13th movie' series.
Stage 4 Boss
A distant parody of Leatherface from 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' movie series.
Stage 5 Boss
A parody of Freddy Krueger from 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' movie series.

The dying pose that the Stage 7 boss does seems to have been inspired by the movie poster from the 1986 film Platoon. (arcade-history)
