A little series of sprite-pics I'm doing, where I take a final battle from a game, dramatise it in image form, and explain it in text. Just a small result of boredom of the "I should be working on ROM World, but I've not the urge to rip SML2 tiles..." variety. Hopefully it won't suck (I've already noticed one graphical mistake. Can you see it?)

Anywho... *puts on dramatic voice*

The comical side-scrolling action RPG "River City Ransom" (Technos Inc/Atlus, 1989/2004) has the two lead characters, Alex and Ryan, fight through countless gang members in a bid to rescue Ryan's girlfriend from "Slick", a fellow of whom little was known except his alias and that he was behind all the trouble, controlling all the city's Street Gangs. Alex and Ryan, putting aside their rivallry for a time to take care of this larger threat, fought through a variety of tough bosses, from strongman mob-leader Rocko, to the legendary 3-man "Zombies" gang to the deadly Double Dragon Twins, before eventually meeting Slick himself... who actually turned out to be Simon, one of Alex's former friends, hiding behind an alias, now with additional psychic powers, which he aptly demonstrated by throwing stuff at Alex from a safe distance with the power of his mind. After a long, hard, and not entirely even battle, Simon suffered the humiliation that comes with both losing horribly to your worst enemy, and being told by said enemy that your alias is crap.

Most excellent, but I should point out that there's four members of the Zombies. Blade, Turk, Mojo, and Thor.

Is it the fact that the dudes have no shadows? Or is it that really weird type lightning in the background?

This is still very good, despite your... "slight graphical error"

I say the "graphical error" is that there's no rain bouncing off of Slick or Alex.

The lightning could be a bit brighter.
