It's a pseudo-auto-scrolling beat-'em-up on roller skates from 1989, themed around a third-rate Japanese arcade developer's idea of East Coast hip hop. So yeah, it controls great and there's nothing culturally offensive about it at all.

You know, if anything, this actually makes it sound more interesting than is. You might think because of the skates you're careening wildly all over the screen, but really it just sucks because you have to work up a lot of momentum to move around slowly. And the New York/hip hop theme (which isn't even reflected in the totally stock arcade game OST) barely lasts a single level, and then you're fighting robot clowns and going to the wild west and shit. There is one funny boss battle against a glam band, though.

The funniest shit is looking up youtube videos of old banned/offensive media and seeing the biggest crackheads in the comments go 'man, things were so much better when media wasn't POLITCALLY CORRECT'

Yeah, those people ... like, I'm not someone who would get upset in 2022 about an old game having some era/culture-consistent backwards shit in it to the point where it totally takes over the conversation, but having an obese, cartoonishly ugly farting mammy stereotype as a recurring boss in this game is, uh, not exactly something to celebrate!!
