Raid 2020

About

Raid 2020 is a side-scrolling beat 'em up where you play a lone warrior fighting through Pitbull's criminal empire. You punch, kick, and blast through waves of henchmen robots and cyborgs across distinct stages like neon-lit streets swamp treacherous water and zero-g space corridors. Collect cash to buy weapons upgrades and armor as you push toward the final showdown in a high-tech computer center. Combat is fast and direct with simple button combos but the stages throw traps environmental hazards and respawning enemies to keep you moving. The game stands out for its varied settings and escalating stakes despite its 1989 release. Each level introduces new obstacles from laser grids to minefields while the money system adds a resource management layer to the brawling. Older players might note its influence on later brawlers though the difficulty spikes can feel abrupt. With its retro pixel art and relentless action Raid 2020 remains a tough but straightforward throwback for fans of old school arcade rhythms.
