DJ Boy, also known as DJ Kid, was designed as a standard side-scrolling beat'em up game partially based on the hip-hop culture of the U.S. cities. What made the game unique at the time was the fact that many of the characters rode around on roller skates rather than walking or running. DJ Boy skates across various stages and utilizes hand-to-hand combat moves in order to defeat opponents, culminating with a battle with a boss at the end of each level. Along the path, the player also encounters prizes, which then can be used later to purchase Power-ups from a store located at the end of each level (in the home version, the arcade simply tallied these as points). In the console versions of the game, as another game, River City Ransom, the "prizes" consist of coins that are dropped by defeated enemies, or food items like burgers that restore health. Read less

Dj Boy is a 1989 progressive fighting game.Kaneko, the producer and distributor of the game, did a great job.The story of the game is as follows.The premise of the home console game: Donald J. A young man named Boy (DJ Boy) is a roller fighter who participates in an ultimate fighting race known as "Rollergame", which takes place in Cigarette City, located on the outskirts of New York. Many people were excited to see Dj Boy, but a roller fighter gang known as The Dark Knights wants him out of the competition. Tony, whose leaders are heavily acquainted, urges his gang to kidnap his girlfriend Maria, who came to town and defeated DJ Boy. DJ Boy must rescue Maria, defeat the Dark Knights and win the Rollergame competition in an adventure. The arcade plot tells a different story. Dec. Two rollerskaters named Bob & Tom (two playable characters) were breakdancing to the beat of their boombox, until it was stolen from skate thieves (presumably the Black Knights). DJ Boy skates through various stages and uses hand-to-hand combat moves to defeat opponents, culminating in a battle with a boss at the end of each level. Along the way, the player also encounters rewards that can then be used to purchase power-ups from a store located at the end of each level (in the home version, the arcade only counted them as points). In the console versions of the game, as in another game, River City Ransom, the "rewards" consist of coins thrown by defeated Enemies or food such as burgers that restore health.The gameplay is as follows.in this game consisting of 6 sections, you are trying to kill the enemies and cross the section.The music of the game is beautiful.If you are not too obsessed with graphics and you like retro games, this game is for you.My rating for the game: 10/10 (y) Good games to everyone 🙂
