Official Description (Ad Blurb)

28 years after the events of 'Franko: The Crazy Revenge', titular anti-hero Franko returns to Poland to get his old friend out of trouble. This time also he will not go easy on his enemies...

Now, with help of his pal Skinny, Franko will wreak havoc in the streets of Szczecin once again.

Skinny & Franko: Fists of Violence is an outstanding and brutal 2D beat'em'up game. Designed by a creator of cult classics like 'Franko: The Crazy Revenge' or 'Doman: Sins of Ardan' that were popular in the 90's on Amiga and PC.

Features:

  • play on 8 intense and packed with enemies and boss fights, hand-drawn main stages with a few bonus levels and secret locations

  • dive into the story and find out what happened to Skinny and Franko's friend 'Shorty'

  • 30k frames of hand-drawn, old-school animations

  • use over 50 different weapons and special attacks to beat your enemies

  • fight over 80 different bullies and morons (no reskins!)

  • hand drawn and animated characters in a unique, own style

  • car driving and shooting mini-games

  • tons of humor and bad language in game

  • play solo or in 2-player coop mode

The unique graphical setting, being a combination of a realistic world and satire, create a specific atmosphere, that you will find only here.

Are you ready? They are coming!

Awesome beat-em up

The Good
Dozens of different types to beat up with various special skill. Multiple skill settings. Arcade mode. Crude humor.

The Bad
A lot of glitches (that do get repaired) but then that is part of the fun too.

The Bottom Line
My favorite game on the Atari VCS.
