Rick (Anderson) is a calm and intelligent, 35-year old professional private detective and manager of the detective agency while Allen (Tombs) is a 19-year old, reformed delinquent trained by Rick, who is “short-tempered and violent when angry”.
An evil corporation known as the Legacy organization, kidnapped the daughter of a mid-aged rich man and left him a letter explaining why they kidnapped her. One night, before Rick and Allen were about to close their office, the mid-aged rich man, rushed inside the office asking for support on saving his daughter and gave them a letter.
The next day, Allen notices an advertisement in the classifieds with similar sentence structure to the letter left by the kidnappers. Rick couldn’t understand it, until Allen told him to look cautiously at both. The writing was actually a secret code, only understood by certain crime lords, so Rick and Allen struggled toward the main base of the Legacy organisation to find the truth and save the kidnapped daughter.
Players One and Two start with the two selectable protagonists, Rick and Allen. Each private detective uses different fighting styles, attempt to solve cases by beating up each criminal they encounter. Lots of special items can be found by throwing enemies into the background and breaking things, typical of this popular genre in the 1990s arcades.
Along the way they are harangued by all manner of thugs and toughs, whose costumes range from 1980s hip-hop wear to stereotypical pirates. The bosses are tough by way of strange special attacks.
