Play Rushing Beat Ran - Fukusei Toshi Online

Rushing Beat Ran came out on the Super Nintendo in 1992, a side-scrolling beat 'em up from Jaleco that arrived in the thick of the console's life. It was part of a wave of games where you just moved right and hit things, a familiar format that felt right at home next to titles like Final Fight.

You pick from one of three characters, each with their own basic attacks and throws, and fight through screen after screen of enemies in a futuristic city. The main goal is straightforward: clear each area of thugs and defeat the boss waiting at the end. You can pick up weapons like pipes or knives dropped by enemies, and a special attack meter lets you unleash a screen-clearing move when things get too crowded. The pacing is relentless, with enemies swarming constantly, and the difficulty can feel punishing if you aren't careful with positioning. It feels like a solid, no-frills brawl from start to finish.
