VIGILANT (TURBOGRAFX16 TG16)

Vigilante is a side-scrolling beat-em-up. It features an unnamed tough hero who roams the streets to beat up The Rogues gang who kidnapped his girlfriend Maria. The game features five distinct locations, such as city streets and a junkyard, with many different thugs with different strengths. You fight with your fists, feet, and a chain, with regular stance, crouching, and jumping attacks. Each level has a final boss that requires a specific tactic to progress. Enemies continue to spawn continuously on the left and right side of the screen until the boss is reached, so a steady pace is needed to reach the end of the level before time runs out. When enemies get too close, they grab the character and quick left and right taps are needed to free them, as they are then vulnerable to incoming attacks.
