DD Crew

DD Crew is a 1991 Sega arcade beat-’em-up developed by Sega AM3 running on System 18 hardware. Up to four players simultaneously control characters fighting through waves of street enemies. The game’s name comes from the Japanese battlecry どんどん来るー — roughly “keep ’em coming” — which reflects its philosophy of continuous enemy pressure with minimal downtime between waves.

Throws are only available after an enemy has been knocked down, unlike many contemporary belt scrollers that allow grab-and-throw from a standing position. Individual attacks target a single enemy rather than a group, and there are no invincibility frames on dashes, so repositioning during dense enemy clusters requires actual spacing and timing rather than defensive movement options.
