Beat Em Up Tapestries
Description: Streets of Rage is a beat 'em up video game developed and published for the 16-bit Genesis console in 1991. The trilogy which includes parts one, two, and three, were among the most popular titles of the '90s. Players control one of three former police officers turned vigilantes who battle a crime syndicate. The original release establishes many conventions of the Streets of Rage series, such as two-player cooperative play and an acclaimed techno soundtrack. Streets of Rage maintains a following to this day, with many retro gamers either playing the real deal on vintage consoles (both 8 and 16-bit versions) or playing via unauthorized online ports.
Description: I loved Shenmue so much and I'm totally waiting for the third episode, but whenever I search for a good t-shirt, sweather or jacket, I always find dumb tigers... no one is REALLY good and menacing as the original (the tiger is the symbol on the back of the protagonist's jacket)! So, I handmade it from scratch, and if I may say so, it's pretty similar to the original... but in hi-res! I even added the seal from the very "phoenix" mirror in one corner. Hope you like it! From one Shenmue fan to many others! ;-)
Description: Two unstoppable brawlers take the fight to the neon-soaked streets in this grindhouse-grade beat-’em-up adventure—an off-brand VHS classic “inspired” by every cult arcade cabinet that ever ate your quarters. When a cyberpunk gang war erupts across the city, our two heroines go back-to-back and punch their way through waves of street scum, rogue cyborgs, and neon renegades with the kind of attitude only 90s action legends had. This is the lost tape you’d swear you rented from a video store with sticky floors and a flickering CRT. If you’re a fan of arcade brawlers, 90s action movies, neon cyberpunk chaos, retro beat-’em-ups, and badass heroines, then I made this for you!
