This shit. Wow, it's a beat em up called Bad Dudes so it must be 2 players, right? Nope. Would have forgot about this game entirely if not for the amazing intro cutscene, because the game play is garbage and it's a single player console beat em up. Well, I think it might have been 2 player but not co op, changing turns on death. Then like over a decade later I download a mame romset and I'm looking through it and I see none other than Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja. Could it possibly be the same Bad Dudes(well Dude, because only one of them os on screen at a time) that needed to rescue the president? It actually is, to mu surprise the NES game was a port. So I fire it up. Wow, it's not terrible. It's decent, a little repetitive but sounds and looks pretty good for what I'm guessing is late 80s. Not incredibly hard or unfair. Bad Dudes on the nes was one of my first beat em ups and it almost turned me off of the style. The NES version isn't inherently bad, it's just boring and the difficulty feels cheap, and everything looks and sounds like shit.
