- Ah, beat 'em up games: a classic platform of fighting prowess. Great games, from Battletoads to Double Dragon to River City Ransom have made great strides in this genre, but they all suffer from one glaring plot hole: how you offer recovery items to your characters?

Case in point, they know how to type. Ish.
