I'll close out Beat Em Upril with my first encounter with the genre: Avengers/Hissatsu Buraiken (Capcom) Like a lot of 80s kids, I was a big fan of martial arts media so finding this game was a revelation. I played this recently on Capcom Arcade Stadium Vol. 2 and it’s not good :/ #retrogaming
Beat Em Upril No. 14 Hong-Hua from Night Slashers (Data East) Was playing this the other day and, man, it’s not shy with the gore. I copied the talisman from one that supposedly used in a jiangshi movie. #retrogaming #beatemups #dataeast
Beat Em Upril No. 13 Crime Fighters (Konami) Not highly-regarded but a personal favorite. Loved how the game encouraged you to fight dirty. Kick dudes in the nuts, kick them on the ground, fire a gun, fire a gun at them on the ground - whatever’s necessary to get the riff-raff off the streets.
Beat Em Upril No. 11 Alien Vs. Predator (Arcade) I spent way too long on this for a game I’ve only played once smh. #retrogaming #beatemups #capcom #alienvspredator
The Kickstarter for NOTHING BUT NET is live! It's a basketball-themed tabletop card game by Printer Ink Games. I did the game's artwork and I'm really proud of how it's turned out. Check out some of the art and leave a pledge if this looks like your jam. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hp1...
Beat Em Upril - No. 10 Ninja Gaiden (Arcade) I remember being pretty disappointed when I first saw that the NES version was a completely different game. The flip-throw mechanic is a little tricky but one of the coolest in the genre IMO #ninjagaiden #beatemups #retrogaming

Drawing characters from Beat 'Em Up games for what I'm calling BEAT 'EM UPril. 3/?? - Roxy from Final Fight and Billy (or is it Sid?), her replacement for the US SNES version.
I'm drawing Beat 'Em Up game characters for April and calling the challenge BEAT 'EM UPril. 2/?? is Bimmy Lee from Double Dragon unleashing that game's ultimate weapon.
Doing a lil personal drawing challenge that I'm gonna call BEAT 'EM UPRIL - drawing characters from various Beat 'Em Up games. First up is Kung Fu / Spartan X. Since it's based on Jackie Chan's Wheels On Meals, I tried to draw Jackie here as 'Thomas'
Some of the card art I did for Kickabout, a new football/soccer themed game by Evan Wilcock and @galens-games.bsky.social that is now live on Kickstarter as part of Galen's Games Mint Tin Series 2. Check it out and leave a pledge if it looks like it's for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...
Every single artist that posts on BlueSky should have this saved to their computer because so many of you are posting character torsos all day. (created by @/whey.party)
Artists, QRP with a practical art "hack" you use. Let's share some wit & knowhow.
Thanks Tomonobu Itagaki, for helping make a guy feel good about choosing Xbox over PS2 (though I also bought a PS2 eventually).
