(Bare Knuckle - Ikari no Tekken)
Once upon a time, there was a peacefully productive city, until one day a powerful syndicate took over, and it wasn't long until the city became a cesspool of crime, violence, and even corruption. Despite the problem 3 police officers who consist of Adam Hunter, Axel Stone, and Blaze Fielding were trying to convince their superiors to create a special task force for this matter, but for unknown reasons the task force proposal was denied. Because of this problem, rather than seeing their city being torn apart by the syndicate the trio of determined officers decided to quit the force after they decided that enough was enough. So now it's all up to Axel, Adam, and Blaze to put their own lives at stake in order to take the law into their own hands, and give the city back to it's rightful citizens on the Streets of Rage.

Bare Knuckle was released on August 2, 1991 in Japan. It is known in South Korea as just Bare Knuckle (without the subtitle), and outside Japan and South Korea as Streets of Rage.
The subtitle of this game translates from Japanese as 'Iron Fist of Fury'.
Development names: D-Swat (January 90, for the Japan market), Street Karate (July 90, for the export market). The three main characters were totally different, they were called; God Hand, Black Bird, and Pink Typhoon. Later in the development, God Hand became Hawk, Black Bird became Wolf, and Pink Typhoon became Blaze. Later again, Hawk became Axel Stone, Wolf became Adam Hunter, and Blaze became Blaze Fielding.
In order to create the soundtrack for Streets of Rage, Yuzo Koshiro went to various nightclubs and dance clubs for inspirational purposes. The responsible of SFX was quite lazy, as numerous sounds such as the extra life sound and also the game's font, are lifted directly from Revenge of Shinobi.
In 1991 Sega teamed up with Tiger Electronics, Inc. to produce a standalone Streets of Rage LCD handheld video game, as part of its 'Pocket Arcade' series.
