It was published by Sega in Japan and by Sunsoft of America in North America. ==Gameplay== Up to two players control two men who look like officer workers, and proceed through warehouses and urban areas beating up gang members, but the characters are not named and the game has no storyline.[1] Tough Turf's control configuration is composed of two attack buttons (punch and kick), as well a jump button to fight against enemies or overcome obstacles. The player has access to a repertoire of techniques by pushing these buttons individually or in combination. Weapons are also along the lines of long iron pipes and nail bats. Weapons deliver stronger blows and have greater reach than fists. Nail bats are more preferred by majority of players as it has longer range when swung, but pipes have less delay when swung. A Button: punch B Button: kick C Button: jump A+B Buttons: either to grab weapons scuttled on the ground or duck to avoid being hit by enemies B+C Buttons: jump kick A+B+C Buttons: drop weapons ==Reception== According to Kurt Katala of Hardcore Gaming 101, "considering there was very little variation amongst the ''[[Final Fight]]'' and ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (arcade game)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' clones that popped up in the early 90s, [''Tough Turf''] is interesting to play a game that requires a different approach, and it really is a fresh alternative to ''[[Double Dragon]]''."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/toughturf/toughturf.htm|title=Hardcore Gaming 101: Tough Turf|publisher=|accessdate=22 April 2016}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{KLOV game|id=10172}} *[http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=tough-turf&page=detail&id=2952 ''Tough Turf''] at Gaming History [[Category:1989 video games]] [[Category:Arcade video games]] [[Category:Arcade-only video games]] [[Category:Cooperative video games]] [[Category:Multiplayer and single-player video games]] [[Category:Sega arcade games]] [[Category:Sega beat 'em ups]] [[Category:Sunsoft games]] [[Category:Video games developed in Japan]] [[Category:Video games set in the United States]]'
