Crude Buster/Two Crude & Trio the Punch: Never Forget DECO | Scrolling Down the Belt 27

Welcome to Scrolling Down the Belt, a series that delves into beat 'em ups, brawlers, and belt-scrolling action games, in mostly chronological order!

Could you not get enough of Data East's Bad Dudes? Then you might be a little bit disappointed by it's kinda sorta followup: Crude Buster/Two Crude/Two Crude Dudes! If you love throwing everything in sight, you're in for a good time. But in terms of an actual followup to Bad Dudes...ehhh...

A bright spot though, is Data East's other kinda sorta beat 'em up title, Trio the Punch. This one is such an oddball, that I have to let it speak for itself! But it's worth the price of admission!
