Game Overview

Crime Busters (Unl) is one of those NES games that feels like it snuck in through the back door—because it totally did. You play as a cop who punches first and asks questions never, clearing out alleys full of thugs who all seem to share the same three sprites. The controls are stiff, the hitboxes are more like suggestions, and the music sounds like someone banging on a keyboard, but somehow, it’s weirdly fun.

It’s got that classic bootleg charm—enemies teleport into existence, your jump arcs like a cinderblock, and sometimes you’ll swear you landed a hit only to eat a fist instead. But if you’ve got a soft spot for janky retro beat ‘em ups, this one’s a riot with friends (or alone, if you enjoy yelling at your TV). Just bring extra quarters—this game fights dirty.
