(Played the Japanese Famicom version, Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun)
The combat is pretty cool but the final level is a random maze designed to make you replay a bunch of the game which isn't fun at all and the double Riki boss fight sucks and the Misuzu boss fight sucks and the final boss is awful because he has a gun that kills you instantly and he can pull it out and shoot faster than you can get out of the way or counter, you have to take little potshots at him or try to lock him into a combo and then run away once he's downed.
Once you finally beat the game you get a little cutscene of Kunio hugging Hiroshi, the credits roll, and the game is over. 終 and all that.
The game is fun if you're in the right mindset, but... eh. It sucks. Nice to look back on as a little relic of a time gone by, but nothing great or mindblowing.
