 Wanna kick it old school? No, don’t go see the movie, instead, watch ScrewAttack’s video on GameTrailers.com about Capcom’s other old school beat ‘em up, Knights of the Round.
After familiarizing yourself with the game from the video, go ahead and pick up a copy of Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 to satisfy that undeniable urge to play it yourself.
