River City Ransom

It is the third game in Technos' Kunio-kun series released for the console, preceded by Renegade and Super Dodge Ball. Remakes of the game have been released for the Sharp X68000, PC-Engine Super CD-ROM², and Game Boy Advance . The game is non-linear, allowing players to explore an open world, in a sandbox manner. The fighting style is very similar to Double Dragon, in that the player can move freely around the screen while pressing buttons to punch, kick, or jump. This is the first game in the series where Kunio teams up with his rival Riki, who fought against Kunio in the previous games. The number of difficulty settings was reduced from three to two and an alternate 2-player mode which disables player-against-player damage was removed too. River City Ransom was the first console game localized by Technōs Japan's U.S.
