The president needed a bad enough dude. Chuck Norris was too awesome so I answered the call.
J'avais joué à l'époque sur Amstrad CPC et le jeu s'appelais Dragon ninja. Cela me rappelle que de bon souvenir et la c'est la version arcade avec des sprites bien plus gros et bien plus fluide. Je recommande pour les nostalgiques de la bonne époque de l'arcade par contre cela reste un jeu très court. J'ai toujours aimé les jeux de Data East sur arcade et ce jeu ne fait pas exception à la règle.^_^
"Being bad never felt so good" You can beat the game around 20 minutes, but the childhood memories last for a life time. Pros: - Good old beat 'em up action direct from the 80's arcades - Cooperative action for two players - A very nice soundtrack - The President is a cool american guy - You can kick ninja butts as an american warrior - Smells like lemon Cons: - Lack of achievements. Even a game for literal little girls like [i]My Little Pony A Maretime Bay Adventure[/i] have them. - There's no dip switches options like the real arcade game. Only recommended if you're a nostalgic player or like to collect old oddities.
Today I read that Yoshihisa Kishimoto has passed away. I knew he created Double Dragon and I thought he had also made Bad Dudes, so I installed the game and played, only to realize afterward Bad Dudes was actually a knock off inspired by Double Dragon, other people saw DD’s success and made their own version. Anyway, RIP. The game itself definitely shows its age, but runs well on Windows 11 and the movement is smooth. It’s a simple game where you use basic attacks and jump between upper and lower platforms. Occasionally you can pick up a knife or a nunchaku, the nunchaku is more useful because it has longer reach and except for bosses, most enemies die in 1-2 hits. In the end you have to defeat all the bosses from early levels again in a row to save... the President of the United States, which I refuse. People who read this years from now and don’t know what the 47th US President did to the Iran people in 2026 go read some news you will understand. Anyway, nice little game for its time.

Como suele ocurrir en estos bundles la calidad es mediocre porque siempre se dejan algún clásico fuera y mucho relleno de juegos "low cost" en este caso de Data east,pero tenemos los" bad dudes", que usen emuladores o no,yo los disfruto como en los salones arcade!!! eso si....parece que habrá algún recopilatorio mas... pues haber si se estiran y nos ofrecen los excelentes ¨NIGHT SLASHERS" y ¨MIDNIGHT RESISTANCE! que el precio no es precisamente "económico" del bundle!!! mas vale calidad que cantidad!!!! o no?
Exciting, ninja-based 80's action. Your mission if you choose to accept it is to rescue the President of the United States, Ronald "Ronnie" Reagan. You basically just spam the attack button the whole way, but you can also charge it for a power punch. The emulation is good enough, was nice to revisit this game.
Data East <3
I loved Bad Dudes on the Megadrive. This port doesn't let you down. Can be completed in under half an hour, but plenty of nostalgic fun.
This is probably moot because you can't buy this anymore, but I just did not like this game. I like arcade beat'em ups but this one just did not click with me. The enemies are all just kind of annoying to fight.
i remember this game bein awsome now i cant stop playin it its a matter of fact that i love this game and i still play it sometimes a classic in the making say like shinobi that i have completed
