Any Vigilante fans?

Vigilante is a fun little game. Great to play for 10 minutes. Nice variety(black dudes with chains ). Jump kicking is badass. Judged as an arcade game/port, it's excellent. I feel good whenever I get the ending.

Haters gonna hate, but anybody else ever play this gem?

I've loved the game since it came out in the arcade. A true classic arcade title, and it has been discussed often here, including when it was released for the Virtual Console:

You get in, you play, you have fun. It is beatable after you build some skill and good timing, and you get out when you are ready to put it down and move on to something else. When you play again, you play to improve your high score and lessen your death count until you can build up to that 1cc clear if possible. That is how an arcade title should be in most cases.

I love it.  Would've like to seen Double Dragon ported, bit this does the trick.

I wrote about this in the past. So here is "abridged" (ha!) version:

(1) Picked it up as a launch title.
(2) Not overly impressed (circa 1989).
(3) Play game a lot due to no $$$.
(4) Realize that game is best without turbo/autofire.
(5) Still not impressed.
(6) Years pass.
(6.5) Talk about old games with random person.
(7) He praises the game and I say, "WTF?!"
( I give Vigilante a second (or, at this point, a fifteenth) chance.
(9) I totally have fun with Vigilante.

STATUS: Back in the day, I wanted more from the game. Now I appreciate it for what it is.

I love Vigilante. I always come back to the game even though I have beaten it  over and over again.

My Vigilante history, esteban style:

1992: Drooled over the pictures of Vigilante on my TurboGrafx packaging
1997: Bought for $10 used. Hated it.
2005: Liked it.
2013: Bought SMS version. Hated it.

Turbo version is good. SMS version looks good.

but you've got double dragon 2 instead

If you don't like Vigilante go back to playing your N64 WIMP!

i enjoyed it, it was fun but not a game i would play over and over.

I love it.  Would've like to seen Double Dragon ported, bit this does the trick. 

With Dragon Arm being a brawler, it would be totally doable to do a souped up version of Double Dragon using DA's game engine.  Just would need someone interested in coding it when the time came.

I got it pretty cheap used about 10 years ago.  It was okay.

Gaming in the 80’s and early 90’s was an absolute blast; and Vigilante was one the reasons why.

Like so many storylines of the time; you’ve got your hero trying to get back his girlfriend from a gang of no-good lowlifes. Even though the Double Dragon series, Renegade, Final Fight, and other brawlers had the same premise, I liked Vigilante’s style of play. Plus, the graphics were pretty cool too.

One thing I’ll always remember from the coin-op is that after defeating a boss, the Vigilante would walk up to the van holding Madonna, and her arms would reach out to him just as the van pulls away to the next stage. I can’t count the number of times of wanted to yell at the sky, “DAMN YOUUUUUU!!!” with my fist shaking in the air.  

The first time I beat the game, there was a great sense of accomplishment.   I still like Vigilante to this day.

Played a lot of the SMS version back in the day, liked it a lot.

Vigilante is so good, hard to believe there are peeps
out there who can't like it.
