Besides Double Dragon, the Final fight series are the most famous beat 'em ups from the 80s and 90s. The original Arcade Version of Final Fight was developed by Capcom in 1989, transfers for PC and different game consoles followed. The graphics was 2D, as usual at this time. The levels were linear (from the left to the right). In the game itself, one can choose between 1 or 2 players and can decide between the following characters: street fighter Cody, ninja Guy or mayor Mike Haggar. The player or players needed to save Jessica, Mike's daughter, from the feared "Mad Gear Gang". Similar to the first Double Dragon games, not only the fists could be used but also knives and other items. SOURCE: Wikipedia
It seems like only the Japanase Arcade version and the Sega CD version are completly uncensored. The Japanese SNES versions are almost uncensored but still two enemy are censored here (Poison and Roxy). The US Arcade Version is almost uncensored too. Only a short sequence during the intro has been censored here. This almost-uncensored-version has been released on the newer consoles as well (Capcom Classic Collection for PS2, PSP, Xbox and the PS3-Download version). Heavily censored is the old console version. This concerns all international SNES-releases (except Japan) and at least the European SEGA CD version. Compared are the censored international console Version, taken from the European for Sega Mega CD and the uncensored Japanese Arcade Version. OPENING CREDITS
