RCR is my all time favorite NES game. Love seeing my dude Arcus speedrun it. If you don't get hype when the double dragon music hits as the twins come out u ain't alive.

It's funny that this game can be beaten so quickly. Back in the day, my friend and I would spend forever farming money off of those guys under the bridge to get all the attacks and max out all the stats, and then we'd just stomp ass all the way through the rest of the game like it was nothing. Took A LOT longer, but it was hella fun!! :D

For me as a kid, this game wasn't about beating it. It was about exploring the world, beating up bad guys, collecting money, watching Alex and Ryan eat a bowl of soup including the bowl itself, seeing what the items in the shops do, and basically just having fun. It can be beaten quickly, but this is a game I didn't want to beat, but just to play and have fun.

there's gotta be a faster way than this, the most powerful single hit you can deliver in the game in the acro circus when your strength is maxed out at 63. Im saying if you can somehow pick up the acro circus, then there is a way i just cant recall where, but you can get a big boost to your strength stat, which will make your acro circus do a knock down and 1 hit kill just about anything except the bosses and will probably kill off bosses in less hits...just a hypothesis. Love this game man. Good to see you playing it.

My buddy and I would play this game for hours, saving money and buying books... He bought Javelin Man, where you throw someone, and they spiral until they hit a wall... Well, there's that park north where you talk to Roxy with the two hard guys in it. He picked me up, and threw me across the pond... lol, no wall to hit. Didn't die, so my buddy was stuck there... Eventually he jumped in the pond to die, but my guy was still flying through the air off the screen... so the game was just stuck in that state... Pretty funny.

Do you know about the No-Money-Loss death exploit, discovered by Double-X2-Points (I believe I'm the first)? What about "first step" Instant-High-Jump (no 8 step requirement)? Check out my RCR playlist to see it, along with several other game mechanics I've come up with that I've personally never seen before anywhere else. Acro Circus Box/Crate riding, minimum will power "anti-knockdown safeguard", and a few other things that I might have been the first to discover. All of these things are done on a regular version of RCR and require nothing more than the right inputs (no cheats or emulator etc). Man, now I'm wanting to play.....
