''[[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.

* [[Grey and Black Morality]]: The protagonists fight pretty dirty here.
