One of the best reasons to own a SEGA Genesis. A beat-em-up game that was SEGA's answer to
Final Fight.
Streets of rage featured three main characters Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, and Adam Turner, all three of them ex-cops, beating the crap out of thugs and ninjas who work for a crime-lord called Mr. X and his right-hand man called Shiva. In the second and third sequels, Adam Turner is replaced by his
kid brother Skate Turner, and two extra characters, Max Thunder and Dr. Zan, join in the party.
