Vigilante is so good, hard to believe there are peeps
out there who can't like it.
I guess you'd say there are two type of ppl in this world, those that love Vigilante and those that not have played Vigilante enough.

I have not played it enough.

its one of the best arcade ports on the system.

and the best home version of the game in general.

One of the enemies I came to respect on Vigilante was the red mohawked guy. He didn't come at you with knives, chains, guns, or pipes. Instead, he just wanted to straight-up brawl with you. I respect that... too bad I usually just caved his face in with the nunchaku.  :P

My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

The game is very easy, but fun. :)

Any idea if the arcade version is much harder?

Not really. Not for me anyway.

PROTIP: You will kick ass, but don't forget your overalls!

STATUS: You are a fool if you don't read this ancient post about THE GLORY OF VIGILANTE'S COVER ART

Seriously, it's been awhile since I recycled that post!

are you using turbo controls?

If so, you are cheating.

I remember first seeing screenshots for Vigilante; probably in EGM ads or something. There was a shot of the sunset in the background that I thought was incredible. At the time, my friends and I were obsessed with games like Double Dragon 2 and Contra; kick ass co-ops that had incredible levels and variety (relatively speaking). That is what I expected from Vigilante. What I got was a prettier Kung Fu.

I was disappointed.

Very, very disappointed.
Is it fun? Sure, I guess. But as beat-em-ups go, it's really basic; which is saying a lot for the beat-em-up genre.

I got Vigilante when I first got my Turbo.  I like beat em ups so it was an easy sell.  The game is simple but fun.

Turbo chucks for the win!!!!

No turbo controls. I do have to use some continues. Currently I only have it on Virtual Console, and this is one game that I'd like to get a real copy of.

It's good.  You beat the shit out of punks for 15 minutes, and you're done.  Short & sweet. 

I guess I just really liked the gameplay of these style of games - I was a huge fan of Kung-Fu Master, which is the spiritual prequel to this game.
