Bad Dudes on NES is one of those classic beat 'em ups where you punch, kick, and jump your way through waves of enemies—just like in the arcade, but with that sweet 8-bit charm. You play as these two tough guys (or just one if you're going solo) who basically walk around looking for trouble, and boy, do they find it. Every level ends with a boss fight, and if you win, your dude strikes a ridiculous pose and yells, "I'm bad!" which never gets old.

You’ll find random power-ups like nunchucks or knives lying around, but honestly, sometimes it’s more fun to just punch everything. There’s also soda cans that heal you (because nothing says "bad dude" like chugging a soda mid-fight) and clocks that give you a few extra seconds before time runs out. It’s simple, goofy, and exactly what you’d expect from an NES brawler.

If you’ve played Double Dragon or Final Fight, you’ll feel right at home—just with more ridiculous one-liners.
