Gameplay
The player assumes the role of Duke Davis (the back of the box calls him Duke Dunnegan), who goes from stage to stage beating up gangsters that get in his way. He is dressed in a yellow tank top, sunglasses, and yellow pants, and is described as a former punk rocker and the "world's coolest" martial artist.
Before the start of the next stage, quotes are introduced to entertain the player (such as "Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you"). The player fights a variety of enemies, such as gorillas and circus dwarves that can throw hammers (old ladies in the computer versions throw purses). There are a total of 15 stages. Moves include the "bull ram" attack and "trip" move.

Development
Coverage of the Nintendo version was set to be announced at the Winter CES 1988 by Mindscape,[5] but was pulled at the Summer CES 1988, and a conversion of the arcade game Paperboy took its place.[6]
Reception
Electronic Gaming Monthly's Seanbaby placed it as number 16 in his "20 worst games of all time" feature.[7]
Zzap!64 called it "A extremely strange but enjoyable beat 'em up", giving it an overall score of 80%.[8]
