Like Søren Grønbech's other game Datastorm, Sword of Sodan was most noted on the technical side, as the sprites were large and distinctive-looking. Your task (as either a hero or heroine) is to dethrone the tyrannous Zoras the Necromancer, and avenge his killing of your father.
There are 11 levels to take on, with indoor and outdoor settings. Your character has a range of sword-slashing and jumping moves, which must be used to their full effect if you are to make progress. The game features digitised sound and speech, as well as an action-replay feature, an unusual concept outside sports games at the time.
The TurboGrafx-CD (PC Engine CD) version of Altered Beast is a largely faithful port of the arcade original, adding "story mode" cutscenes, Japanese narration, and slightly altered colors.
The Sega Master System port of Altered Beast. It has heavily modified visuals due to technology capabilities. Unlike those versions the SMS port only includes single player mode and had only four levels.
Downtown Nekketsu Story is the original version of the game known as River City Ransom.

Double Dragon for the MSX seems to be ported from the NES version. The controls seems sluggish here. The game was released only in Japan and Korea and it's another unlicensed game.
Sakigake takes place at a school called Otokojuku, which is a private boy school that teaches Oendan to student delinquents. Oendan is basically a cheering squad that is somewhat similar to cheerleaders, except they focus mostly on noise and atmosphere than being acrobatic. The school is run by the principal Heihachi Edajima, who uses martial arts to train his students to be better people for society.
