Trying to remember the name of this game I loved for time. It was late 80s early 90s I think, me and Spihunter would play it a lot.
Goes like this, it's a fighting game. Parts of it were isometric like paperboy. Uh basically the premise was you
and your buddies go down the street causing all kinds of hell. One is on a skate board, one is on a bike, one just has a bat?
It was just hilariously wrong, going down the street breaking shit and beating up people.
I think you could wheelie on people or smack'em with you skateboard?
So, obviously 3 people could play at the same time, and it was cool cause you were on the same side,
like a gang against the computer badies.
What was this game... can I find it for MAME?

Hmm... sounds more like your remembering something you actually did when you were a wee bit younger... ;)

No, I was usually the one getting beat up....

:lol:
Never mind, the bullies are probably in jail now and scared to bend over in the showers too pick up the soap... ;)
Can't recall the game your thinking of though, and I spent many long hours in the arcades back in the day, gawd how I miss those dark wee places full of machines that scoffed all me pocket money on many a Saturday afternoon... :)
Perhaps this little ditty will help you remember... :)

What year?
LOL, you guys concentrate! :lol:
Year, think maybe 90-91 - Arcades were still around.
it was something "boys" it was so fun, maybe I was just high as hell. Where can I find a library of stand-up arcade info... ?
@ Franko - great my theme song has arrived...
Ok for time reference, mortal kombat was in this arcade, that was all the "rage" so to say.

I lived in Arcades, and high or not, I don't remember anything that sounds remotely like what you are describing.
Those were the good ol days. Going down town to a dark and smoke filled arcade. I remember seeing 12 year old kids in there with a cigarette in one hand punching buttons, joy stick in the other, and their skate board propped up against the side of the machine.
Then there was Putt Putt Golf down in Texas where they had buildings three stories high full of nothing but arcade machines.

That's it! That's the game. I've been looking for that forever!. I'm going to go through my MAME roms and see if it's there. That would be awesome with my X-arcade.
YYEEEESSS!!!!
I'm going to find one and buy one!
Save saves the day! Thanks dudes!
EDIT - well get it on MAME anyways...

I wonder if this is the sequel to DJ Boy.

Oh, I used to mop the floor with DJ Boy, though I don't recall ever seeing this B Rap Boys game ever. Looks very very cheesy! In fact I feel the sudden urge to watch Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo....
...oh wait, it's just gas.

Heres a good resource for searching for old treasure:

I fired this up, and I'm happy to report that my MorphOS machine runs it just fine (as expected).
Lots of fun, and yes, a lot like DJ Boy!!! So Goose, you need to also check out DJ Boy if you have not already.
Anyhow, shouldn't this be title Rap B. Boys? :)
