IC: beat-em-up "Streets Of Rage" style game

So, there was a game I played in a long time ago. It wasn't an in-depth story or complicated character creation. It was, basically, a play-by-post version of many video games that came out in the 80's and 90's.

Crime lords' minions are running rampant. Ninjas have kidnapped the President's daughter. The military and law enforcement can't fight back the wave of destruction. It's up to a handful of unlikely heroes. A rough-around-the-edges street tough? Sure. His pet dog jumping in to help? OK. A wandering monk in the wrong place at the wrong time? Alright. A super-smart adolescent in a miniature mech suit? Why the heck not.

Anyone interested in seeing this become a thing? If so, I'll put it together.

I used to love Blaze. My answer is "maybe, depends on the system, but not if it's freeform."

The basic mechanic would be this:

Random-Thug: A has a 3/2 fight score. Player: 1 would declare attack and roll a 1d10. If he beats the first number, he damages the enemy. If he doesn't beat the second number, he takes damage.

There would be things that will modify this a bit (item pickups and such), but that's the basic mechanic that will drive the action.

What the heck, I was a big Streets of Rage/Final Fight fan back in the 90s, I'm up for playing this.

That's interesting, although with both my health and my spotty memory about checking this subforum, I might need you to let me know if this gets off the ground and doesn't have too many players.

Fury Street: insert coin(s)

Port City: During the daytime, a peaceful metropolis. But at night, the city takes on a whole different image. Years ago the Mayor, Police Chief, and various gang leaders came to an arrangement. The gangs stay off the streets during the day and the cops stay off the streets during the night.

The arrangement works... as long as you're not caught out after curfew...

Please read RTJ and Combat Rules info before applying.

I'll wait a bit before posting in the Players Wanted section to give those who showed interest here a chance to RTJ first.
