Crime Fighters is a 1989 [[Beat'Em Up]] made by [[Konami]], released around the same year as their ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' arcade game.

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.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Do Not Drop Your Weapon]]: Played straight with the enemies, but you lose any weapons you pick up as soon as you're hit.

* [[Excuse Plot]]

* [[Groin Attack]]: Can be done to you or the enemies.

* [[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.
