Final Fight 2

You control one of three characters, like Haggar or Maki, moving them left and right across the screen. Your goal is to clear each stage of enemies to rescue a kidnapped girl. You punch and kick through waves of thugs, picking up occasional weapons like pipes or knives from the ground. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of foes crowding you. It feels straightforward and physical, a game about creating space with your fists.
