Overview
Description

Billy and Jimmy Lee return from training to confront a new threat in Egypt, guided by a mysterious fortune teller. The quest for the Rosetta Stones leads them through side‑scrolling levels filled with enemies and hidden weapon shops. The game introduces size‑changing power‑ups, energy boosts, and extra lives, while moving to more realistic character graphics. Play solo or with a friend in classic co‑op beat‑em‑up style.

Billy and Jimmy Lee return to avenge Marian's death, fighting through a heliport, lumber storehouse, wheat field, and a hidden boss lair. The arcade classic features directional attack buttons, new moves like the Hurricane Kick, and a final showdown against a clone of the player’s own character. The game offers both solo and cooperative play, letting two players team up to take down enemies together, with each player facing their own clone at the climax for an extra challenge.
