tedious and simple
I might be the only one elderly enough to actually remember double dragon, and then Golden Axe (one of the first few genesis games), and then worse still, the sega genesis "The Tick" game. I don't remember any but the last being quite so tedious though. No element of skill. Just mash the a and s buttons. Fight the same stupid things over and over. Some strategy to it like mortal kombat, or even like "Black Belt" (we're talking sega master system here) would be in order. It just doesn't work. It's boring. And it takes a long time to load.
