''[[Crime Fighters]]'' is a 1989 [[Beat'Em Up]] made by [[Konami]], released around the same year as their ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' arcade game. Up to four players (or two, depending on machine settings) try to rescue a huge group of girls kidnapped by a crime lord. This game was known for its very risque sense of humor, one of the main reasons why this game never got ported to home systems.
It has a sequel named ''Crime Fighters'', known as ''[[Vendetta]]'' in non Japanese territories. ''[[Violent Storm]]'' is mistakenly labeled as the third game in the series despite being completely different from the two.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Appears in the late levels.
* [[Boss Rush]]: After beating the game for the first time, you fight all of the bosses at once again in a [[Bonus Level of Hell]] along with a few enemies.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Some of the bosses. In particular, the second stage boss is reminiscent of [[Friday the 13th (film)|Jason Vorhees]], the fourth stage boss is based on [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre|Leatherface]], and the 5th stage boss is based on [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Freddy Kruger]].
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]:
** {{color|blue|'''Player 1'''}}
** {{color|yellow|'''Player 2'''}}

* [[Difficulty by Region]]: An odd example. The Japanese and European versions of the game were two-players, and they have lives and a life bar. The American four-player version removed the lives and gave you [[Hit Points]] (100 per coin) for every token you inserted in, and worse, it drained your life by 1 point about every 10 seconds. The Japanese version also has a back kick button that was removed in the American version.
* [[Dominatrix]]: Starting in Stage 4, female mooks dressed like this start to show up.
* [[Do Not Drop Your Weapon]]: Played straight with the enemies, but you lose any weapons you pick up as soon as you're hit.
* [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Beautiful women are being kidnapped by a dangerous criminal organization. It's up to you and your buddies to defeat the bad guys and save the women.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: The unnamed [[Final Boss]] is called a "Fat Toad" in the opening cutscene, and he sure is.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: The final boss has a Tommy gun, that does a ''lot'' of damage and makes it hard for you to even punch him, but manage it even ''once'', and he's out.
* [[Grey and Black Morality]]: The protagonists fight pretty dirty here.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Can be done to you or the enemies.
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: Can literally be done to enemies once you knock them down.
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: You'll have a hard time trying to hit enemies in this game. The bosses are even worse, as they'll most likely hit you before you hit them.
* [[Macho Camp]]: These enemies are only found in the Japanese versions of the game. There's also dog enemies that try to hump you. They would return in the Japanese version of ''[[Vendetta]]''.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: But easier with two or more players.
* [[Palette Swap]]: All four player characters.
* [[Ratchet Scrolling]]
