Riot City

LIOT CITY

[Zer0Funk]

Someone get Bobby a fucking wheelchair. The boy looks like he's having trouble walking properly.

[Itsallover57]

i dont blame all those guys wanting to beat that black guys ass, the other dude i got no beef with.

[demonkai76]

omg im still laughin at Belgurdos comment i never payed attention to that black dude crazy walk till now after all these years lol...

[otakud00d]

Oh god. DAT WALK

[sillygoose544]

STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP

[15551cue]

that walk is the new style for 2011

[Wisebrother78]

Fake Final Fight..lol

[neros77]

Why do you control both characters at the same time?

[2bin]

This game like an arcade adaption of Streets of Rage, also from Sega (Genesis). Except, this doesn't look nearly as fun. I think they were released around the same time. Anyone know which one was first?

[SilferIII]

your controlling them both at the same time huh? lol I tried that once, and get my ass kick badly

[Tonnygun]

I LOVE beat em ups, but it cracks me up to think of so many cities plagued with thugs... just sitting in the streets.

[xxpandamidknightxx]

This game is fucked up. I want to keep away from this as possible.

[killahkazi]

ya know what, the black guy need to die in the end 4 walking like that and the white guy need to die for knowing a guy who walks like that.

[cwilliamg]

when I was growing up at the arcades, I always thought it was so bad ass how the enemies are sitting down and jump up when you come busting on the scene. still fucking awesome...

[ZDWario]

OMG!  hahahaha....The black guy's walk is toooo much.

[strafer]

I like how the punches sound like bubbles in water.

[Soukyugurentai]

The Turbo Duo version called "Riot Zone" is actually a bit better.

[MHMemeDoubleYourFun]

@Soukyugurentai However, I hear most people prefer multi-player. Riot Zone isn't a sequel to Riot City, it's just another game, much like comparing Wonder Boy to Adventure Island.

[marcman001]

so the cool one does a really mean "raising tackle" and the other one who's doing the MC Hammer while he's constipated does a breakdance?!!! why can't a lead role go to a dark skin guy with the cool moves and stance a blonde hero register? lol. seems racist to me when it came to 90's "beat'em up" genre's if this is hard for game developers to do, the only thing to do is to create a blonde character with great move list, stance (and don't forget the super moves) and darken the skin tone lol

[HugeDickNick]

why does the white guy look like a homo?

[outbacktraveler]

wow two muscle-bound dudes destroyed the entire city of thugs with their bare mma skills, my favorite.

[yourallstoopid]

most beat em ups made at this tyme pale in comparission to Streets of rage 2

[LCNitro]

Final Fight! xD or Streets Of Rage v0.5 xD

[someonenow1]

"Bulky Typhoon!"

[jjtexeira]

Most of the enemies look better than the players. The chest-to-leg ratio on the players make them look like lollipops. Also, they should have given them a couple more pixels worth of neck.

[diagoCRiME77]

my god so horrible its funny ,

[DantevKratos]

I like the way the black character walks. Lol.

[Gounitz]

why that nigga step so high? ROFL!

[diagoCRiME77]

dude the black guy what the hell , its like they are making him strut . Damn sheltered japanese game designers LOL .

[ScrapChild1979]

This game was obviously inspired by gays.

[thetylife]

The black guy must have an appointment to audition for the Rockettes after fighting.

His walk is just about the only thing worth remarking. Truely unremarkable game like you say.

[1983parrothead]

He must of been inspired by MC Hammer and other similar singers, dancers and groups popular during the time of the arcade game's release.

[1983parrothead]

For those of you who don't understand why Bobby walks unusual, compare that to his super attack at 0:32. He's based on African-American break dancers.

[kee8484]

that black guy walks like a fuckin lame ..what ass hole made him look this way

[marzli]

haha. the "walk" animation is EPIC! :)

[00Shaythe00]

lol @ Bobby's walk

[Eskimo50]

LIOT CITY!

[PeromyscusLeucopus]

This game was released in North America on the Turbografx-16 CD Rom system.

[1983parrothead]

While WestOne took Sega's Wonder Boy and remade it as Adventure Island for Hudson Soft, they also took Riot City and remade it as Riot Zone (known in Japan as Crest of Wolf).

[8589brian]

looks like another game called POW

[papapupunana]

this black dude walks like gay cause maybe it means that he is dancer :D

[Redking1982]

Heh, the gay cowboy's name was Terry.

[arrogancy]

Sounds like he's saying 'dishonorable punch'

[IannaRally]

The "Dishonorable Punch" is a "Rising Tackle" in disguise !!!!! XD

For some reason, I find this a cool idea to put such a move in a Beat 'em Up Game instead of a 1on1 Fighting Game...

But, well, working well on ideas is what matters... :p

[kravorzlair]

omg this brawler has the worst sound effects I've ever heard. I wonder which shitty sound chip produces that abomination of sound.

[1983parrothead]

Compare its sound effects to RadarScope's.

[kravorzlair]

Nice effects. I am complaining for the sfx only, the music is awesome but I'd like to play it with riot zone's cheesy sfx

[papapupunana]

this 2 guys are acting as one person, very interesting

[Since1845]

Controls for both players are obviously mapped to the same input

[TheManAbove]

The voice over of "Riot City" at the start screen reminds me so much of this famous line from Altered Beast:

"RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!"

[jackobyuk]

jaaaaaap! jaaaaaap! LOL!

[Divineice0]

The Black guy looks like he's chinese marching.

Or doing the germany nazi walk.

[LongBeach2SanDiego]

it's hard to believe that the same company responsible for classics like golden axe and altered beast made this shit.

[1983parrothead]

Actually, it's Westone, the same people who later made the similar Riot Zone for the TurboGrafx-CD. They also made Wonder Boy and Hudson's Adventure Island.

[1983parrothead]

Sega only published it. WestOne, the company behind Wonder Boy and Adventure Island, developed this. They also took some parts of it and recreated it as Riot Zone for Hudson Soft.

[gamerbeing]

looks alot like final fight

[nuwavghost]

Boogie walk! Hahaha. Yeah, I think he walks around doing the running man, but it looks ghey.

[Ultimatestrife]

AWESOME!!!

[JamesSunderlant]

LOL the black guy must be gay look how he walks!

[1983parrothead]

I believe the developers are trying to make him do a dancing walk like some hip hop singers OR he's probably trying to be "kewl".

[eimaxe]

does the black guy has a super weggie or what!?

[DirtyZ]

I always thought the blonde dude looked pretty gay.

[alvieao2]

I haven't seen any videos of Riot City in a while since someone else previously did... But thanks for posting it.

[belgurdo]

Why the FUCK does the black guy walk like he has a dildo up his ass?

[ReijiOyama]

I guess cause Westone didn't think he was "black enough", so they gave him a boogie walk. :D

[MetalJoe1977]

@ReijiOyama Did henrealize how black he was going?

[Chaniyth]

Bobby, the black guy in the game, is a break dancer, and is "b-boying", he is walking to the beat of music. It's a style of walk-dancing in away I guess, but on a 2D sprite it just looks funky, I guess it'd look funny in 3D too unless it was motion captured.

[hypnodance]

@belgurdo That's a black guy? I thought it was a Frankenstein's monster!

[2bin]

@belgurdo He's "jiving." I guess graphics weren't good enough back then to make racial stereotypes look realistic.

[demonkai76]

@belgurdo

rofl

[cheznar]

@belgurdo okay okay....3 years later....he's a guy that really knows how to walk the walk dude....he's extreme!!! lol
