Streets of Rage - Beat 'em Ups Explored

This month I'll be taking a look at the SEGA classic, Streets of Rage! How the game shaped the SEGA 16-bit era, how the music elevated the game into a class of it's own, and how a 25 year absence can't keep this series down. Plus, Michaela from Drink the Movies stops by to to mix up a power boosting cocktail!
