A Data East beat'em up with offbeat humour, where you grab just about anything to bash enemies with. Fun in two-player, technically aged.

Collector interest

A Data East beat-em-up ported to Mega Drive in 1990, Crude Buster (known as Two Crude) shipped in Japan with a muscular post-apocalyptic setting. This early Japanese port, never officially released in Europe under this name, holds a solid value carried by the Data East signature and two-player co-op. Its steadily rising value places it among the sought Japanese beat-em-ups from the Mega Drive's early years.
