Play Top Hunter Roddy & Cathy (Set 1) Online

Game Overview

Okay, so Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy is this weirdly charming Neo Geo gem that feels like someone took a Saturday morning cartoon and turned it into a side-scrolling brawler. You pick between Roddy (the punchy guy) or Cathy (the kicky girl) and just go ham on waves of goofy enemies—think angry chefs, boxing kangaroos, and pirates with bombs. The art style’s super bright and exaggerated, like if Capcom made a Looney Tunes game.

What’s cool is how it mixes things up—one minute you’re punching robots in a jungle, the next you’re platforming across floating islands while dodging fireballs. There’s even this weird grappling hook mechanic where you can swing or yank enemies toward you, which is janky but hilarious when it works. And yeah, it’s hard as nails in that classic Neo Geo way, where enemies spawn right on top of you and bosses take half your health bar in one hit. But it’s got that "just one more try" pull, especially if you’ve got a buddy for co-op chaos.

Also, the soundtrack slaps. That bassline in the first level lives in my head rent-free.
