DJ Boy is a 1989 arcade beat ’em up developed by Kaneko in which two rollerskating breakdancers, Bob and Tom, chase down the gang of thieves who swiped their boombox, fighting through hip-hop-styled city stages and a boss at the end of each one. This is the Set 2 ROM revision of the arcade original, playable free in your browser.
How to Play
Skate through each stage taking down the rival gang on your way to the level boss. The cabinet uses an 8-way joystick with three attack buttons — Punch, Kick, and Jump — mapped in the browser to:
- Arrow keys — skate / move
- Z — Punch
- X — Kick
- C — Jump
- Enter — Start
- Shift — Insert coin
Tips
- Punch and Kick together unleash a spinning sweep that hits enemies on both sides of you.
- Jump plus an attack button lands a dropkick, useful for clearing space when surrounded.
- Knocked down? Mash a direction on the joystick to get back on your feet faster.
