Sega Takes to the Streets on the Master System
There were three series that were the "poster boys" of the Golden Age of beat 'em ups...Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage. Streets of Rage was originally created for the Sega Genesis in 1991, became wildly popular, and, two years later in Europe and South America, was downported to the Sega Master System (SMS). The SMS port lost some features, most importantly lacking 2-player capabilities and only allowing 2 enemies on screen at one time (along with the expected downgrade in graphics and sound). Even so, the downport still delivers an impressive beat 'em up experience for 8-bit gamers.
