Crude Buster

Outside Japan, the port was released under the name Two Crude Dudes. In the game, players control Biff and Spike, two mercenaries hired by the American government to stop the terrorist organization "Big Valley". Their objective is to retake control of a ruined New York City from Big Valley after a nuclear explosion the group caused.

Players control Biff (player 1) and Spike (player 2) by jumping, dodging and attacking their way through legions of enemies. Because the duo are muscle-bound brawlers, they have the ability to pick up objects well beyond their own weight (e.g. cars and traffic lights) to use as weapons. They can do the same to most enemies as well. While playing co-op, it is also possible for one player to pick up the other to use as a projectile. Each player has a life bar, which decreases each time they are hit. Some enemies can grab onto the players and drain their life. A player loses a life when his life bar reaches zero. If the hit that finishes a player is an explosion or flame, he slumps to the ground burnt. The life bar can be fully refilled between stages, with a cut scene showing Biff and/or Spike punching a "Power Cola" vending machine causing sodas to fall out which they drink. These vending machines also feature in most stages as replenishment points.
