Lost In Translation/Combatribes, The

About The Game
The Combatribes is a three player simultaneous mêlée battle in which larger-than-life fighters battle against rival gang members. As well as being able to pick up objects such as motorcycles etc. and throw them at the enemies, players also have a number of interesting fighting moves that can be unleashed upon their opponents. These include picking up unconscious enemies and hitting OTHER enemies with them, as well as banging two enemies' heads together and smashing recumbent enemies' heads into the ground to finish them off.

Trivia
Released in June 1990.

One of the clown thugs in level 2 were inspired by the Joker character from the 1989 Batman film.

Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Double Dragon 3, The Combatribes - PCCB-00065) on 21/06/1991.
