Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle: Ikari no Tekken (ベア・ナックル 怒りの鉄拳) in Japan, is a beat 'em up video game released by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991, before subsequently arriving on the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System. It was the first in Sega's then-flagship Streets of Rage series.

Story

Streets of Rage takes place in a New York-inspired city that has been taken over by an evil syndicate, headed by the evil Mr. X. Chaos ensues, and out of it comes three brave ex-cops: Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, and Adam Hunter. Together they are willing to risk everything including their own lives to free the city from the evil syndicate.


“ This city was once a happy, peaceful place...until one day, a powerful secret criminal organization took over. This vicious syndicate soon had control of the government and even the police force. The city has become a center of violence where no one is safe.

Amid this turmoil, a group of young Police officers has sworn to clean up the city. Among them are Adam Hunter, Axel Stone, and Blaze Fielding. They are willing to risk anything...even their lives...on the...

Streets of Rage

„

— Opening sequence


Gameplay

The gameplay is typical for a beat-'em-up from the era and shares many similarities to prior Sega games of this nature. B/1 punches and C/2 jumps, and in mid-air, B/1 causes the character to perform a jumping kick. For the most part, movement is two dimensional, however as was the standard for the time, players can walk into and out of the screen, creating a primitive "2.5" style of gameplay. Though it is possible to walk left, the screen will only scroll to the right in most circumstances, making extended backtracking an impossibility.

Like Final Fight, Streets of Rage has a primitive weapon system. If a player is standing over a weapon, B/1 will pick it up and, with subsequent B/1 presses attacking with it. Pressing B/1 and C/2 together will trigger a rear attack, and it is possible for the player to grapple close range enemies without taking damage.

Similar to Golden Axe's magic spells, Streets of Rage assigns A to a special attack, which takes the form of a police car that fires a bazooka at enemies on-screen. In multiplayer games, the effect is exacerbated for even greater damage. In the Master System version, the player must  PAUSE  the game and press 1 to use the special attack, which makes it more complicated to use. The Game Gear version did not implement this move. Subsequent games would eliminate the police car, possibly in the interests of retaining gameplay flow, but also because the command is unusable in certain situations, such as the last round where players find themselves on the top floor of a skyscraper indoors.

Enemies

SoR Galsia Sprite.png
 Garcia/Galsia
This is the first and most common punk encountered throughout the game. Galsia (the more accepted name, introduced in Streets of Rage 2) attacks the player(s) frequently and sometimes has either knives or baseball bats to attack the player(s) with. He has two different knife attacks; the notorious "charging" type in which he runs at players, and a more typical throwing type. The latter version will not drop knives even if he is thrown and is more commonly encountered on higher difficulties. Galsia has returned in all of the Streets of Rage/Bare Knuckle games, becoming as iconic to many as some of the main characters.
SoR YSignal Sprite.png
 Y.Signal
A common enemy easily identifiable by colorful mohawks. Though Y.Signal will occasionally punch the player(s), he prefers to throw the player(s) or perform sliding kicks to knock them off of their feet, both of which become more common when playing at a higher difficulty setting.
SoR Nora Sprite.png
 Nora
Nora is a female enemy who carries a whip. According to the Japanese manual, she works for questionable members-only clubs where everyone calls her queen. Nora uses her whip to hit and knock down the player(s), though if knocked down herself, some Nora enemies may get down on their hands and knees and will be invulnerable until they get up. Throwing Nora prevents her from doing this.
SoR HakuOh Sprite.png
 Haku-Oh
According to the Japanese manual, Haku-Oh is a student of the 4000-year-old Chinese art of Shaolin Kung Fu. The character is a ruthless member of the syndicate who uses flying kicks on the player(s) as well as having a habit of jumping from behind scenery in some stages (such as the boat in Round 5).
SoR Jack Sprite.png
 Jack
Jack is a Juggler who will juggle dangerous things such as hatchets or torches, throwing things at the player(s) intermittently. An alternative type will only attack if a player stands still long enough. Walking into an armed Jack who will knock the player down. According to the Japanese manual, Jack works part-time as a circus clown and despite being funny for a living, is quite strong. In prototype screenshots, his outfit is very different and he seems dressed similarly to Galsia.

Memory restrictions mean that despite the existence of biographies, enemy characters are frequently recycled. This means that throughout the journey, the player will encounter, for example, multiple Garcias with identical clothing and stats.

Bosses

(The following names come from the Japanese manual - only Mr. X is mentioned in the western releases)

SoR Antonio Sprite.png
 Antonio
Antonio is the boss of Round 1. As his name implies, he wields a large boomerang and can sometimes kick. Antonio also appears in Round 8.
SoR Souther Sprite.png
 Souther
Souther is the boss of Round 2. He has claws attached to his gloves and can lunge at the player from far away. He can also counter the players' flying kicks with a slashing attack that leaves afterimages (it is possible to hit him with a flying kick but difficult to do and not recommended). In Round 6, two Souther will appear as the boss. He also appears in Round 8. Souther's name is reused as an alternate name for a similar enemy encountered in Streets of Rage 2 named Zamza.
SoR Abadede Sprite.png
 Abadede
Abadede is the boss of Round 3. He is a muscular brute who can charge and punch from long distances. He also appears in Round 5, and Round 8.
SoR Bongo Sprite.png
 Bongo
Bongo is the boss of Round 4. He is a big-bellied fighter who can breathe fire and walk quickly across the screen diagonally. A player will take damage if they attempt to throw him. He also appears in Round 6, and Round 8.
SoR OnihimeYasha Sprite.png
 Onihime and Yasha
Onihime and Yasha are twins. Because they attack together and are always jumping around, they can be difficult to defeat. Their most common attacks are kicking in midair and grappling. The sprites used for this boss are actually identical to Blaze's set, albeit with different color palettes.
SoR MrX Sprite.png
 Mr. X
Mr.X is the final boss and head of the syndicate. He is the main antagonist throughout the series. Generally, he carries around a machine gun when fighting or sits on his throne sicking goons on the player(s).

History

Development

Streets of Rage was developed by Sega as an answer to Capcom's highly rated arcade beat-'em-up, Final Fight (or more specifically, the Super Famicom version from December 1990, which despite cutbacks, was proving a hit in Japan). The fledgling Sega Mega Drive had several beat-'em-ups in its game library at the time (most notably the likes of Golden Axe and Alien Storm), but most were ports of old arcade games and weren't generating as much interest in the system as Sega would have liked. With Capcom choosing to favor Nintendo's machine over Sega's (for the time being at least), the company decided to create a brand new beat-'em-up game from scratch which would be exclusive to their console(s).

Streets of Rage was developed internally by Sega CS2, and was set to address features lacking in the Super NES adaptation of Final Fight. Unlike its rival, Streets of Rage was able to provide three playable characters and two-player co-operative play, as well as being able to support more characters on screen.

The music for Streets of Rage was composed by Yuzo Koshiro, who had previously offered his talents for Revenge of Shinobi. Koshiro was influenced by electronic dance and club music, specifically of the techno and house varieties, and intended to be the first to introduce these sounds to video games. The final soundtrack also shows the influence of contemporary R&B and hip hop music, styles that were immensely popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in the western hemisphere.

Yuzo Koshiro claimed the most important element when recreating club music sounds for video games was to emulate the timbre and percussion sounds of rhythm machines, citing models by Roland Corporation (such as the TR-606, TR-707, TR-808, and TR-909). Music is one of the key elements of Streets of Rage, with Koshiro's soundtrack being widely praised by the press of the era and inspiring his subsequent Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3 soundtracks.

Like its sequels, Streets of Rage's soundtrack was composed using a PC-8801 computer, alongside an original audio programming language developed by Yuzo Koshiro himself. "MML", or "Music Macro Language" is based on NEC's variant of the BASIC language, but is modified to involve elements from assembly code.

Master System and Game Gear versions of Streets of Rage were produced following the success of the Mega Drive original (curiously, this game stands as one of the few occasions where the Master System port is entirely different to the Game Gear one, with different game assets). The Game Gear version lacks stages 2, 3, and 7, has only two characters (Adam is missing), and sports simpler graphics, while the Master System version omits two-player co-operative support.

Legacy

Streets of Rage's success led to the release of two major sequels, Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3. Attempts at a "Streets of Rage 4" have been made, but none surfaced as commercial products until 2020, 29 years later.

The game has been included in a multitude of compilations spanning two decades and was also bundled with Mega Drive systems in North America and Europe. Of all these, the Sega Mega-CD version included in Sega Classics Arcade Collection is perhaps the most notable due to its inclusion of higher quality sound effects. Streets of Rage was also released for Mega-Tech and Mega Play arcade hardware and is available through several download services, including the Wii's Virtual Console, iOS and Steam. The iOS version is no longer available on iTunes as of 2015.

Versions

Streets of Rage was brought to the aging Sega Master System in 1993. Although the system's limitations constrained the game's graphics and sound, the majority of the gameplay remains intact, except for two-player co-operative play.

Some music tracks are shortened or are moved to different parts of the game. For example, the character selection music is now used in round 2, while the round 1 stage music is used when selecting a character.
