Recorded more or less due to failing sanity, it's one of the first games I ever owned, Streets Of Rage.
Yeah, I'm pretty exhausted right now while I'm typing this, so I'll keep it brief. Known in Japan as "Bare Knuckle", SOR is a much-beloved beat 'em up from the halcyon days of the 16-Bit era. The popularity of the title spawned two sequels, the oft praised Streets Of Rage 2, and the generally forgotten Streets of Rage 3.
I used to play this game ALL THE TIME. Even after getting my first PlayStation, and my copies of Resident Evil 2, Mega Man X4, and Final Fantasy VII/VIII.
There's not much else to say, SOR has a massive fanbase to this day, and a fan remake was made some time ago, which I would heartily recommend to anyone who has never had the opportunity to play old-fashioned beat 'em ups before.

If you can find it, that is. SEGA put the kibosh on the project almost immediately after it was released, after being aware of it for over eight years. SEGA are dicks like that, as anyone who loves the old Shining Force games has discovered.
