Editorial overview
What it is
The Combatribes is a 1990 beat 'em-up game released for the arcades by Technos Japan Corp (the developers of Renegade and Double Dragon). A home version for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was also released in 1992. The game centers around three vigilantes (identified as cyborgs in the SNES port) who must fight against numerous street gangs in futuristic New York City. The SNES version was released for the Wii Virtual Console in North America on November 30, 2009.
The game has been considered by some to be an spiritual successor of the Double Dragon series.
The premise
The Combatribes puts you and a friend in the shoes of combat cyborgs Berzeker, Bullova and Blitz (yes those are their real names) as they attempt to defeat the evil crime ring "Ground Zero" (renamed to "Guilty Zero" in later NA versions), led by the cybernetically enhanced Martha Splatterhead and her minions.
