Fight your way through the mean streets to save your girlfriend in River City Ransom for the NES. This cult classic beat-'em-up combines side-scrolling brawling action with unique RPG elements. As high school students Alex and Ryan, you must punch and kick your way through gangs like "The Squids" and "The Frat Guys" to rescue Cyndi from the villainous Slick. Defeated enemies drop coins, which you can use in shopping malls to buy food for stat boosts, learn new martial arts techniques like Stone Hands and Dragon Feet, and purchase items. With its open-ended gameplay and cooperative two-player mode, River City Ransom remains a beloved and innovative retro title.
