Gameplay comes before story

Streets of Rage

Co-op or multiplayer

Street Fighter

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Capcom's original Street Fighter laid the groundwork for the genre with one-on-one duels against opponents from around the world, attack buttons and early command-input special moves. It is clunky and punishing, but historically important.

Fatal Fury

Co-op or multiplayer

A classic 1991 SNK fighting game following Terry Bogard's fight against crime lord Geese Howard. Its standout feature is the two-plane system that lets fighters shift between foreground and background lanes.

Lethal Enforcers

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade light-gun shooter where you play a cop gunning down criminals in bank robberies, street and Chinatown scenes. Quick aim and sparing innocents are key, and a second player can join in co-op.

Urban Reign

Co-op or multiplayer

A Namco 3D street brawler in the tradition of Double Dragon and Final Fight, where you fight through gangs with combos, weapons and co-op play.

Joust

Co-op or multiplayer

A 1982 arcade classic where you flap your way around as a knight on a flying ostrich, knocking rival buzzard riders out of the sky by striking from above. Simple but tricky flight mechanics make it a tense score-chaser, solo or with a friend.
