Ah, Streets of Rage...I'd always get so carried away that I'd accidentally hit the "A" button and end up calling the police -- usually when there was just one little punk attacking me, so a complete waste of police support
Same with Golden Axe, I'd end up saving all my magic, accidentally hit "A", the huge Dragon would appear, only to fry one little dude.
Oh, and the little dragons you could ride on that game! And when I used to play 2-player with my brother, we'd have a fight and race to see who'd get the dragon first. And then knock each other off so we could steal it
Ah, good times, good times...You've certainly opened a whole lot of nostalgia with this thread, Grim! Thanks!
