About this game
Billy and Jimmy challenge an armed group using their martial arts. Enemies arrive from doors, ladders and helicopters, and the player must defeat approaching opponents to advance. The available actions provide different ways to respond as attackers enter the scene. Some enemies carry knives or iron pipes. Knock them down to take those items, then use them against distant opponents or groups. The game offers EASY, NORMAL and DIFFICULT settings, allowing a choice of challenge before setting out.
Collected in series
