The Assassination of 64th Street: A Detective Story by the Coward Maradona
Jaleco's strongest soldier
Power of friendship ---> break windows to get cats
A minor victory in that it's the first FINAL FIGHT clone with its own personality. The art and the music are primitive, but it's got a fun spark and it's not taking itself seriously at all. It's also not completely busted, which in 1991 is still a plus.
Listen, any game where friendly cats can be picked up for points and you can just throw people overboard at the docks or off the train level at will is gonna get a passing grade from me, just how it works.

not great! it's entirely playable and easily consumed in one sitting, but it's hard to make a good recommendation for this game when Captain Commando came out the same year, yknow?
Played on Mame. Super console X Cube. Plays great, fun beat 'em up. Not the top 5 but worth a run through. The 2 characters to play as work well and is definitely fun with a buddy.
This is definitely one of the worst Final Fight knockoffs I've ever played.
It's incredible how Jaleco released the first Rushing Beat just a couple of months after 64th Street and that game, while far from perfect, is much better than this one. At least the gameplay isn't boring, the sprites look decent and the music isn't infuriatingly bad.

It's a final fight rip off but it's still kinda fun! although it doesn't have haggar or any sort of equivalent to him so I hate this game
Jaleco's attempt at getting a piece of the Final Fight pie is predictably a disaster. Well not a disaster, just a total also-ran. The attempted noir setting is almost charming. Like, why is there a killer clown boss.
i enjoyed throwing the old men with eye patches into the harbor
64th Street can be nearly entirely defined by its constant digitized foley of a window breaking: it's a fun game, and it will draw out the excitement it wants from you, but you'll quickly realize that's all it's got in the tank.
The combat is simple with a few rare flares that don't actually come off as particularly useful when in the heat of it, enemies look either like unused Street Fighter 1 designs or Shel Silverstein from that one author photo, with no room between, and the music is flatter than a sprite that's sat in your fridge for a year. You'll have fun, I promise you will, but you won't be replaying this cabinet like you may its genre counterparts.

A shoddy, uninspired brawler with some decent visual detail and animations, but little in the way of good gameplay.
Eu quero sair com meu real mano por aí batendo em bandido
