"FACE THE FULL FURY OF DAD JEANS!"
The Nobot Co-Op crew returns with fists flying and mullets flapping in the HD-enhanced chaos of Vendetta—an early ’90s arcade brawler that’s as gloriously unhinged as it is unapologetically weird.
You’ll meet the “heroes” (term used loosely):
• Blood – A prizefighter who’s definitely not Mike Tyson, wink wink.
• Hawk – A pro wrestler who’s absolutely not Hulk Hogan, brother.
• Boomer – A martial artist who may or may not be Van Damme’s gym partner.
• Sledge – A Mr. T knockoff with camo pants and zero chill.
Their mission? Rescue a guy named Kate from the clutches of the leather-harness-wearing, body-piling weirdos known as The Dead End Gang. Don’t worry if it makes no sense—this was peak arcade nonsense from a simpler, hornier time.
Along the way, expect:
✔ Enemies who explode for no reason
✔ A gang of human bowling pins
✔ More pelvic thrusts than a Prince concert
✔ Bosses with questionable fashion choices
✔ Commentary that punches harder than the game does
It's pixel-punching perfection and Nobot mayhem in glorious four-player carnage.
GAME BIO:
Vendetta (1991), developed by Konami, is a side-scrolling beat-’em-up and spiritual successor to Crime Fighters. Featuring four playable characters based on pop culture icons, Vendetta stood out for its wild enemy designs, raw street violence, and surprisingly smooth co-op gameplay. It’s a relic of an era when games were gritty, goofy, and wildly inappropriate—all at once.
