Two Crude Dudes [Sega Genesis ‧ US]

About the Game:
Two Crude, released in Asia as Crude Buster,[a][1] is a 1990 beat 'em up arcade game developed and published by Data East. It was a follow-up to Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja (1988). The game was later ported to the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1992. Outside Japan, the port was released under the name Two Crude Dudes.

In the game, players control one of two mercenaries hired by the American government to stop the terrorist organization "Big Valley". Their objective is to retake control of a ruined New York City from Big Valley after a nuclear explosion the group caused.[4]

The game was later ported to the Mega Drive/Genesis by ISCO/Opera House, but the North American and European versions of them were retitled Two Crude Dudes. The Japanese version of this port kept the Japanese arcade version's title unchanged.

In Japan, Game Machine listed Crude Buster on their April 15, 1990 issue as being the seventh most-successful table arcade unit of the month.[9] In Hong Kong, it was the top-grossing conversion kit on the Bondeal arcade charts from March to April 1990.[1]

The arcade game was critically acclaimed upon release. Writing for Computer and Video Games magazine, Julian Rignall called Crude Buster "one of the best beat'em ups I've seen in years" and rated it a 95%.[5] Mark Caswell of Crash magazine called it a fun and humorous beat-'em-up.[4] Sinclair User also noted the game's humor, comparing it to playing an interactive cartoon. They wrote that it was even better than other recent Data East games, including the game's predecessor, Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja. The magazine dubbed it a "classic" in terms of style and gameplay.[7]

The Mega Drive version was also well-received. Mega magazine placed the game at #37 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.[10] MegaTech magazine said it was "the first Megadrive beat 'em up that comes close to rivalling Streets of Rage".
