(1) Streets of Rage vs (8) Cool Spot
(4) Turtles in Time vs (5) Golden Axe
(3) Chrono Trigger vs (6) Stunt Race FX
(2) BattleToads/ Double Dragon vs (7)Aliens 3
Wednesday March 25th @ 9pm!
Streets of Rage was one of the best beat-em-ups of all time. The size of the characters on the screen were huge compared to past games in the genre, giving this game more realistic feel to the game. Expect Streets to go deep in this block, if not to win the whole thing.
Yes as much as I love TMNT, Golden Axe was one of Sega's few gems. I expect this game to get to the Final 4 of THIS block, but not further since Streets of Rage was crazy good.
Stunt Race FX is the most under-rated game in this block. The game was fun, innovative for a racing game, and rather difficult. The unfortunate fate of this game is the fact that it's going up against Chrono Trigger. The game which went for over $1000 on ebay for a sealed copy. Doperule maybe?

Battletoads & Double Dragon teaming up to fight evil? What else do you need?!?!!?
Battletoads & Double Dragon teaming up to fight evil? What else do you need?!?!!?This would be my pick to win, but I know the RPG fans in the audience will push for Chrono Trigger over this game. If this gets into the final round of this block I'll be surprised. There is a VERY good possibility that this game will get into the finals via the dreaded doperule.
Tune in Wednesday March 25th @ 9pm!
