(1.) Bad Dudes
System: NES | Release Date: 1992 | Publisher: Data East
“The President has been kidnapped by Ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?”
If rescuing the president of the united states from ninja’s isn’t patriotic I don’t know what is. The quote is probably more infamous then the game itself, as Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president has once reached meme status. The game features two bad dudes, these street-smart brawlers known as Blade and Striker, go on a mission fighting these Dragon Ninja guys to rescue the President Ronnie. Ronnie is based on Ronald Regan. What’s cool about this game, is when they finally do rescue the president, they all go out for burgers.
