Bad Dudes is an action game released in 1988 for the Nintendo NES platform. The main objective centers on rescuing the U.S. President, who has been kidnapped by ninjas. Players take on the role of two tough protagonists tasked with fighting through various enemy-filled levels to save the day.
The game features a fast-paced, side-scrolling beat 'em up style where players progress by defeating waves of enemies using punches, kicks, and occasional weapons. Each level concludes with a boss fight that requires mastering enemy patterns and timing attacks carefully.
A distinctive mechanic in Bad Dudes is the cooperative two-player mode, allowing simultaneous play to tackle the challenges together. The game's unusual idea lies in its straightforward, arcade-like gameplay combined with a patriotic storyline, which was a notable theme for games in the late 1980s.
