The style of game you're looking for is the "Beat 'Em Up" genre (Double Dragon maybe was the first). CPS1/2 games are not limited to this genre (Street Fighter 2 is an example), and not all of the games you listed were CPS1/2 games (i think Streets of Rage was a home console game only). I think you may be interested in Beats of Rage: http://www.senileteam.com/borinfo.php Regards, Paul
