Violent Storm is a 1993 side-scrolling beat-'em-up produced by Konami for the arcades. Up to three players can choose between Wade, Boris and Kyle, who all have different fighting styles, speed and moves, some of which are hidden. Players must guide them through 7 different stages, along the way clashing hordes of enemies who wallop, sock, pommel, whip and slug against them, sometimes with knives, lead pipes, bombs, bolts of electricity, spiked balls on chains, garbage cans, vise grips, molten metal and a myriad of other deadly armament.
The ridiculous plot, influenced by movies such as The Warriors, Streets of Fire, and Escape From New York, takes place in the aftermath of World War III. Civilization has been devastated, gangs are running amok in the cities, and toughened vigilantes have taken over the government's responsibility of protecting the common folk. Three of these vigilantes, Wade, Boris, and Kyle, were performing their duties when they witness their friend Sheena being kidnapped by the demonic Red Fredy, Lord Geld's right-hand man. It's up to the trio to rescue Sheena and take down Lord Geld and all of his minions.
For this run, Pepper-Color ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/P... ) decides to control all three playable characters at once and bumrushes through every enemy in their way as fast as possible.
