Scrolling Beat 'em Ups 1987-1990 (Ranked)

I'm trying to play every belt-scrolling brawler in order of release, and I am now up through 1990. I've been ranking them non-publicly, but I felt like since I hit this milestone, I should publish the list so far. Maybe I'll delete this and post a new one with every year or every couple new years completed. I'm very excited to be in '91 - lots of famous, weird, and colorful ones coming up!

Let me know if I missed any. But please note, I'm only doing ones with a z-axis - no THE NINJA WARRIORS single-plane type stuff.
