Streets of Rage

Gameplay is straightforward and simple.

Three buttons are used, one to jump, other to attack and another to perform a range attack from a support police car.

Each character has a limited set of moves that include punching and kicking or performing a back attack (if in the open), two grapple moves (depending if holding the opponent in front or by the back), a flying attack, and if playing with another player two additional tag attacks, and different abilities: Adam is slow, but a good jumper and a hard hitter, Axel fast and also a hard hitter, but a lousy jumper and Blaze fast and a good jumper, but weak hitter.

Levels are in typical arcade side-scroller fashion: move from left to right (with two exceptions), clearing screens from enemies one after another as fast as possible while avoid taking damage with a boss in the end.

Some levels feature "death drops" where the player must avoid falling, while throwing enemies there at the same time, including a typical elevator level.

Several items are scattered on the ground, from melee weapons and bonus points (and lives or additional police cars) to apples and turkeys (to restore health).

Streets of Rage has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Streets of Rage, loose is €43.79 and CIB is €43.59 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Streets of Rage is currently worth €43.79 loose, versus €34.95 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
