    Crime Fighters(arcade)

    By the choices in the original post, I think Gamereviewgod wanted side scrolling beat-em ups, not side scrolling action games like Castlevania. Thats what I thought anyway.

    Right Gunstar...I've always called them "fighters." Sorry for the confusion. I've got all I needed, but if you want to keep naming them, more power to ya. It's my favorite specific genre of games EVER. I never knew Ultraverse Prime was a side-scroller on the Sega CD. I'll have to check it out. Thanks guys! Check out my Burning Fight Neo Geo review here on the site (which should be posted soon) to see the your contribution at work!
