Description Body Blows
Around the time of the Amiga version of Street Fighter 2, Amiga specialists Team 17 came up with a similar one-on-one beat 'em up, designed around the strengths and weaknesses of the machine.
In single-player mode you have four characters to choose from: brothers Dan and Nik play identically, Lo-Ray is a Buddhist monk, and Junior is a washed-up boxer.
Opponents include a ninja warrior, a businessman whose post-fight slogan is 'Sorry about that', and a slim Spanish girl. The scenery is colorful and lively, ranging from fighting rings to construction sites and beaches.
Control is designed around single button controls, with special moves generated by pushing in a certain direction and pressing fire, and a 'super special' move by holding fire for a few seconds. The real skill lies in combining these moves effectively.
