Avengers, known in Japan as Hissatsu Buraiken (必殺 無頼拳; lit. "Deadly Ruffian Fist") and also titled as Avenger to avoid confusion of Marvel's Avengers, is a 1986 beat 'em up video game developed and published by Capcom for arcades. The game was directed by Takashi Nishiyama, who previously designed the side-scrolling beat 'em ups Kung-Fu Master (1984) and Trojan (1986), and later designed the original Street Fighter (1987) and several early SNK fighting games.
