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.
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.

The Assassination of 64th Street: A Detective Story by the Coward Maradona
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
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?
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.

Jaleco's attempt at getting a piece of the Final Fight pie is competent, but totally lacking ideas. The half-assed noir theme is almost charming. Otherwise just a really faceless beat-'em-up with two very similar-playing characters.
Power of friendship ---> break windows to get cats
Jaleco's strongest soldier
i enjoyed throwing the old men with eye patches into the harbor
