Back in the old days it was perfectly fine to have a game were you went around beating the crap out of each other in a comical style unlike these days were you game must feature some thick gob shite of a rapper who has more pecks than brain cells and for some unknown reason only knows how to sing about killing or his bitches.  Anyway, back to the good old days.  Ka.Ge.Ki has you take the role of the hero who has to battle his way up to the top floor of a tower block.  Each floor only contains one main bad dude along with a few easy to beat goons.  There's no special weapons, no special moves and no scrolling (well, not much) yet this game still seems to be pretty addictive!  Graphically it's pretty bad since it's a conversion of a 1988 arcade.  The arcade version does look better than the Mega Drive release but not that much.  Audio is decent enough with loads of sampled speech to keep you amused.

Over all Ka.Ge.Ki is a very basic beat'em up that's strangely addictive.  Worth trying if you can find it cheap.
