Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Riot City is an obscure 1991 arcade game made by SEGA and Westone (the same guy behind the Wonder Boy series), and one of their lesser-known, obscure titles... for good reason.Developed during the arcade Beat 'em Up craze of the late 80s' and early 90s, the game wanted to be the next Final Fight so much that... they kind of just ripped off the premise of Final Fight.We don't mean, in a Follow the Leader kind of way. We mean, "let's recycle everything from a two-year-old game and ersatz our way through enough materials to avoid copyright infringement" kind of way.Like Fight, the players assume the roles of two narcotics agents - named Paul and Bobby, the former being a rather blatant stand-in for Final Fight's Cody - at war against a drug cartel called the MID. When the MID kidnaps Bobby's Love Interest Catherine as intimidation, Paul and Bobby decide to lead a two-men raid into Riot Island, the headquarters of MID.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Nope, the premise isn't really the most original out there, even for it's time. Even the introduction cutscene is a frame-by-frame remake of Final Fight's, with the villain making a video call threatening the protagonist to stay out of his operations because he's got their girlfriends. Before the hero and his bestie decide to suit up for their solo rescue mission. | |

Bar Brawl: Both games have stages set in a Bad-Guy Bar filled with thugs, who drop their drinks and start throwing fists the moment the players arrive. Both bars have basement hideouts that the player(s) get to infiltrate too. Unsurprisingly, they're the same graphics recycled twice. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment: Oddly enough for an arcade punch-em-up, neither City or Zone allows your character(s) to pick up weapons for bashing heads. Especially in City which has knife-wielding mooks - you can't collect even their knives after defeating them. | |
