Overview
Description

Gang Wars pits two martial artists, Mike and Jackie, against the ruthless Jaguar gang across gritty New York locales like Chinatown and Manhattan. Players battle through streets using punches, kicks, jumps, and a range of weapons including an assault rifle and flamethrower, while customizing Power, Speed, and Guard stats to suit their play style. The game supports solo play or cooperative two‑player action, featuring cut‑scenes, light blood, and a classic arcade feel reminiscent of Double Dragon but with its own unique firearm mechanics.

Pit-Fighter is an arcade fighting game where players choose from three distinct characters and battle through 15 matches, using punches, kicks, and environmental objects to deplete opponents' energy. Every third fight is a Grudge Match bonus round, and the final showdown pits the survivor against the mysterious Masked Warrior. The game supports up to three players simultaneously, features interactive crowds, power‑ups like the power pill, and a variety of weapons such as knives, crates, and motorcycles, delivering chaotic, fast‑paced combat.
