Streets of Rage on the Master System is a slightly scaled-back port of Sega's immensely popular Genesis brawler. It has all the characters, enemies, and stages of the original, but it's a single-player game and you only fight two enemies at once. Its soundtrack is a mix of both Streets 1 and 2 music.

The SMS port of Streets of Rage is surprisingly competent despite its limitations. Unfortunately, you only fight two enemies at once, although the combat is still tight and challenging. The graphics and sound are about the best you can expect out of the Master System, and the OST has both Streets 1 and 2 music.
