Crude Buster World Fx Version is the 1990 arcade beat ’em up by Data East, widely known in the West as Two Crude or Two Crude Dudes. Set in a post-apocalyptic New York City, players control a pair of muscle-bound mercenaries hired to take back the streets from the mutant terrorist organization “Big Valley.” What sets this brawler apart from others of its era is its heavy emphasis on grappling and throwing; you can pick up almost anything in the environmentโfrom wrecked cars and street signs to the enemies themselvesโand hurl them as weapons.
How to Play
Your objective is to punch, kick, and throw your way through waves of enemies and bosses across several ruined city stages. As an arcade title, you will need to insert virtual coins to play: press Shift to insert a coin, then Enter to start. Use the arrow keys to move, Z to attack, and X to jump. To pick up heavy objects or enemies, walk into them and press attack; press attack again to throw them.
Tips
- Use the environment: Rely heavily on picking up objects like cars and debris. Thrown items do massive damage and can safely clear out multiple enemies from a distance.
- Throw enemies into each other: When overwhelmed, grab the nearest thug and launch them into a crowd to give yourself breathing room.
- Master the jump attack: Jumping and attacking is excellent for quickly closing the gap or breaking out when you are surrounded by enemies.
