Ninja Clowns (27 oct 91)

Ninja Clowns is an unusual fighting game released in 1991 that pits circus performers against unexpected adversaries like lawyers and maintenance workers. Two players can team up to battle through a bizarre street setting using a combination of punches, kicks, and unconventional clown weaponry. Players wield items such as spring-loaded boxing gloves, soda water bottles, and cream pies to dispatch their opponents in this 2.5D beat-'em-up experience. The game’s strange premise is matched by its distinctive gameplay, offering a departure from more traditional fighting games of the era. Controlling your clown character with an eight-way joystick and three buttons, you'll navigate environments and engage in chaotic combat to overcome various foes. The soundtrack features sounds produced by both an OKI6295 and YM3812 chip. Developed by Incredible Technologies and published under the Strata Group name, Ninja Clowns provides a uniquely surreal arcade experience that is sure to stand out among its contemporaries.
