20 Beat-’Em-Ups I’ll Never Forget

Today I’m talking about 20 beat-’em-ups that meant a lot to me growing up. Some of these games remind me of arcades, some remind me of renting games for the weekend, and others just instantly throw me back to certain periods of my life. A few are obvious classics… but there are also a couple of weird or underrated games in there that probably won’t show up on many lists. This isn’t really a “best beat-’em-ups ever made” video. It’s more just a personal trip through the games that stuck with me over the years and the memories attached to them. Honestly, beat-’em-ups were just pure comfort gaming for me growing up. Would love to hear what beat-’em-ups you guys have the strongest memories of too.
