The term beat 'em up is commonly used to specifically describe games in the '''scrolling fighting game''' sub-genre. However, among some players (particularly those from the UK ), the phrase can refer to '''versus fighting games'''. SCROLLING FIGHTING GAME Main article: Beat 'em Up '' ( 1984 , Irem ).]] In this type of fighting game, typically known as a brawler or '''beat 'em up''', and sometimes referred to as a '''walk and punch''' game, one or more players (most often two, but sometimes as many as six) each choose a unique character, and team up to punch, kick, throw and slash their way through a horde of computer-controlled enemies. The fighting occurs in a series of Side-scrolling stages, some with a powerful Boss enemy at the end. In the most common variation, players can move away and toward the screen as well as left and right, although earlier scrolling fighting games such as '' Kung Fu '' were more likely to allow only single- Dimension al or Linear movement, plus jumping. VERSUS FIGHTING GAME Main article: Versus Fighting Game '' ( 1991 , Capcom ).]] In versus, or '''competitive''' type of fighting games, two players (sometimes more) each choose a character, and then fight against each other over several rounds. The winner of a round either knocks out his opponent (usually by depleting an energy indication bar to zero), comes closest to knocking him out, or (in some 3D titles) sends him out of the ring.
