Streets of Rage 2 - That Game Rules! Ep 053

Streets of Rage 2 is at the top of a lot of “Best of Sega” lists. Some may argue it’s the best beat-em-up game of the entire 16-bit genre. But is them fighting words? Let’s punch and kick our way through another episode, while trying to answer the ultimate question: Can Sega really do what Nintendon’t? Grab that lead pipe, watch out for those spikey shoulder pads, and get ready to jam out to some amazing techno beats as we clean up the streets and try to determine if That Game Rules!  Lazers, Blazers, and all sorts of azers. We head to the 90s to talk about big hair and big action. Did you watch movies with your parents that were inappropriate for your age? We had some great violent movies back then with stars like Arnie, Stallone, and Chuck Norris. Also, the American Gladiators we’re beating people up on the small screen as well. Add in some Sega CD talk and it’s a radical, 90s good time.  As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole banana bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at [email protected]  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok  thatgamerules.com
