Captain America and the Avengers is a side-scrolling beat ’em up action arcade game first developed for coin-op arcade systems by Data East. In the wake of Final Fight‘s immense success in the arcades during 1989, there was a torrent beat-em-ups that followed, some good, and some not so good. Even companies becoming known for high quality 2D titles in the early 90s like SNK published a few absolute stinkers like Gang Wars and Ninja Combat. Data East joined the fray with Captain America and the Avengers, a well regarded and somewhat original beat-em up that walks a path somewhere between Double Dragon and Ninja Turtles.
I personally remember playing just a 2-player version of the game in a woodgrain Lowboy cabinet (remember those!) at a local milk-bar store. Now we are proud to have a beautiful original dedicated 4-player cabinet here at 1UP for all to enjoy!
