Bare Knuckle - Ikari no Tekken [Model G-4050]

Bare Knuckle was released on August 2, 1991 in Japan. It is known in South Korea as just Bare Knuckle (without the subtitle), and outside Japan and South Korea as "Streets of Rage".

The subtitle of this game translates from Japanese as 'Iron Fist of Fury'.

Development names: D-Swat (January 90, for the Japan market), Street Karate (July 90, for the export market). The three main characters were totally different, they were called; God Hand, Black Bird, and Pink Typhoon. Later in the development, God Hand became Hawk, Black Bird became Wolf, and Pink Typhoon became Blaze. Later again, Hawk became Axel Stone, Wolf became Adam Hunter, and Blaze became Blaze Fielding.

In order to create the soundtrack for Streets of Rage, Yuzo Koshiro went to various nightclubs and dance clubs for inspirational purposes. The responsible of SFX was quite lazy, as numerous sounds such as the extra life sound and also the game's font, are lifted directly from Revenge of Shinobi.

In 1991 Sega teamed up with Tiger Electronics, Inc. to produce a standalone Streets of Rage LCD handheld video game, as part of its 'Pocket Arcade' series.
