Capcom's legendary beat-em-up Final Fight features a scenario practically ripped from the headlines: former wrestler becomes mayor of crime-ridden city, pledging to eliminate crime, which prompts local gang to kidnap his daughter in retaliation, which leads said mayor (now shirtless) to recruit said daughter's boyfriend and his buddy to beat up said gang and rescue said daughter. Originally conceived as a Street Fighter spinoff, Final Fight drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including the Double Dragon series and the movie Streets of Fire, and turned it into one of the most iconic beat-em-ups of its era. From its unique character designs and individually named enemies, to its more sophisticated fighting mechanics and infamous continue screen, the game has earned a lasting place in the beat-em-up pantheon.
