Retro video games have a huge market that has been fed over the years by the expensive adventures of obtaining old consoles and their respective cartridges, when it comes to collectors. Also, emulators began to gain more traction, first for individual consoles, and later with systems that allowed us to emulate more than one console at a time with a nice GUI like RetroBat, Recallbox, Lakka, CoinOS, and many others. At this point, there is a debate that touches on the non-legal aspect of the case, and those who defend this practice as a way of preserving the classical character of the original proposals, but we are not going to go into this topic, since it is not the center of the axis of the note.

Night slashers It appeared in the arcades in 1993 with a simple but exciting story because of its theme: monsters take over the world overnight. Zombies, vampires, werewolves and even mutants take over the streets until a group of heroes called Night slashersrestore peace and tranquility.
In the original title, the three characters we could choose from had a wide range of special moves, much more than in titles like The final battle o Street of Rage.
