Knights of the Round is based off the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The Round Table was where King Arthur's court met and everyone was treated as equals. Depending on the legend the number of seats varies. Sir Lancelot and Sir Percival were notable Knights with Sir Percival being the one to claim the Holy Grail.
@Black-Rat3 ай бұрын
Ok, I always thought the holy grail had been found and claimed by Sir Galahad, but the 3 characters I always play as is Sir Percival, the only character out of the three who can have a dash attack and he might be slow normally, he can take the punishment but he hits hards with that battle axe, and naturally his dash attack... I guess I need to go back to school if I forgot about that...

Shin Nekketsu got western “kinda” release this year as river city girls zero. Iron Commando got a cartridge release like 3 years ago in Japan for the super famicom. Also this game used some edits from The Punisher arcade game sprites. Legend is another overlooked gem on the snes, by the same developers from Iron Commando. There’s some stolen music in that one though… (yeah the devs liked to take some stuff from other games). Stone Protectors is a very colorful beat’em up. But it’s too long it gets boring mid play.

@@dieinfire920 , hopefully, you will improve on the game with some new features, such as adding new characters to play as in the game, actual life gauges for enemies and bosses, as well as display it in a way like more conventional beat-em-up/side-scrolling brawler games, and have a good story. Honestly, I always wanted a multi-dimensional crossover in which the universes of Kunio-Kun, River City Ransom, and Street Gangs meet one another and they have to stop the evil plans and machinations of an all new head bad guy. Oh, and this time, make Double Dragon characters playable in this game as characters that can be unlocked, as well as add two main ways to play the game, which are Maze Mode, which operates like Streets of Rage 2 and 3/Bare Knuckle II and III, the NTSB-U version of Brawl Brothers/Rushing Beat Ran, and the NTSB-U version of The Peace Keepers/Rushing Beat Shura, along with the complex and deep combo systems for the most complex beat-em-up/side-scrolling brawler games as well.

Regardless, Brawl Brothers is great and it's a good pick there's a cheat code to access the japanese version still included in the rom. It's a good selection you picked, though I find Iron Commando a bit questionable. While it's a bit more unique than Legend, it's quite rough and I still find Legend (by the same devs) a better game.
