Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy is a side-scrolling beat 'em up that was developed by SNK for the arcades and was later ported to the Neo Geo CD and bundled in many SNK arcade compilations for more recent systems. It stands out from other similar beat 'em ups in that the player character primarily uses their own special weapons — extendable arms and yo-yos — to attack enemies instead of firearms, despite those same enemies often using firearms themselves. Those same firearms can still be collected from them, but only in limited quantities. It also has walking mechs that can be ridden for extra firepower, predating Metal Slug doing the same by two years. As for the story, it focuses on bounty hunters Roddy and Cathy as they hunt down the Klaptons, space pirates who just invaded the Earth and are now on an intergalactic run.
For this run, McBobX chooses to play as only Cathy as she moves faster than Roddy and pummels all sorts of strange bad guys with her fists and energy blasts in order to defeat and capture the equally weird Klaptons in record time.
