With all the focus on storytelling and character development we see today, it sometimes feel like gamedevelopers have forgotten that games doesn't have to make sense. They don't need big convoluted plots to be fun, sometimes all they need is great gameplay and just balls to the walls crazy.

Seeing this video reminded why I started to play games. Thank you GI for reminding me about the awesomeness that used to be videogames. Just watch the video please, more people need to know about this gem.

Damn, I love those crisp sound effects.

Yes! I remember that game. I think I played the one with the ship.. Dynamite Cop 2? Edit: Nah, it is actually Dynamite Cop 1, just a different cover I guess.

Those were super fun and as I remember, not as simple as most beat em ups. Today people would complain about "not enough character development" or "the main story and the writing being lackluster" in those games.

Yeah I liked this game back in the day. I thought it was hella cool because you could arrest people and whatnot. In a similar vein really loved the Die Hard Arcade game.

Never played this, but I did play the crap out of Fighting Force when I would go to my friend's house. Love these Die Hard Arcade-like beat-em-ups.
