You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.222.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Two Crude''''', released in Asia as ((nihongo foot|'''''Crude Buster''''',|クルードバスター|Kurūdo Basutā|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha))<ref name="RePlay5"/> is a 1990 [[beat 'em up]] [[arcade game]] developed and published by [[Data East]]. It was a follow-up to ''[[Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja]]'' (1988). The game was later [[Porting#Porting in gaming|ported]] to the [[Mega Drive/Genesis]] in [[1992 in video gaming|1992]]. Outside Japan, the port was released under the name '''''Two Crude Dudes'''''.

In the game, players control one of two mercenaries hired by the American government to stop the terrorist organization "Big Valley". Their objective is to retake control of a ruined [[New York City]] from Big Valley after a nuclear explosion the group caused.<ref name=Crash />

==Gameplay==
Players control the characters by jumping, dodging and attacking their way through legions of enemies. Because the main characters are muscle-bound brawlers, they have the ability to pick up objects well beyond their own weight (e.g. cars and traffic lights) to use as weapons.<ref name=CVG /> They can do the same to most enemies as well. While playing co-op, it is also possible for one player to pick up the other to use as a projectile.

Each player has a life bar, which decreases each time they are hit. Some enemies can grab onto the players and drain their life. A player loses a life when his life bar reaches zero. If the hit that finishes a player is an explosion or flame, he slumps to the ground burnt. The life bar can be fully refilled between stages, with a [[cut scene]] showing the player(s) punching a "Power Cola" vending machine causing sodas to fall out which they drink, those vending machines also featured in most stages as replenishment points.

==Ports and related releases==
[[Image:Twocrude.jpg|left|thumb|upright|Cover art for the European Mega Drive version.]]
The game was later ported to the Mega Drive/Genesis by ISCO/Opera House, but the [[North America]]n and [[Europe]]an versions of them were retitled ''Two Crude Dudes''. The Japanese version of this port kept the Japanese arcade version's title unchanged.

The arcade version was later included in the compilation disc ''[[Data East Arcade Classics]]'', along with other Data East arcade games bought by [[G-Mode]] after Data East's bankruptcy.<ref name=IGN>((cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/02/16/data-east-arcade-classics-review|title=Data East Arcade Classics Review|publisher=IGN|date=February 16, 2012|accessdate=January 14, 2013|last=Harris|first=Craig))</ref>

In Japan, ''Game Machine'' listed ''Crude Buster'' on their April 15, 1990 issue as being the seventh most-successful table arcade unit of the month.<ref>((cite magazine|title=Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25 - テーブル型TVゲーム機 (Table Videos)|magazine=[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]]|issue=378|url=https://retrocdn.net/images/5/5a/GameMachine_JP_378.pdf#13|publisher=[[:ja:アミューズメント通信社|Amusement Press, Inc.]]|date=15 April 1990|page=25|lang=ja))</ref> In Hong Kong, it was the top-grossing conversion kit on the Bondeal arcade charts from March to April 1990.<ref name="RePlay5">((cite magazine |title=The Bondeal Chart |magazine=RePlay |date=May 1990 |volume=15 |issue=8 |publisher=RePlay Publishing |page=145 |url=https://archive.org/details/re-play-volume-14-issue-no.-8-may-1990-600dpi/RePlay%20-%20Volume%2014%2C%20Issue%20No.%208%20-%20May%201990/page/145))</ref>

The arcade game was critically acclaimed upon release. Writing for ''[[Computer and Video Games]]'' magazine, [[Julian Rignall]] called ''Crude Buster'' "one of the best beat'em ups I've seen in years" and rated it a 95%.<ref name="CVG">[[Julian Rignall]]. [https://www.solvalou.com/arcade/reviews/246/89 "Crude Busters"]. ''[[Computer and Video Games]]''. June 1990. p. 90.</ref> Mark Caswell of ''[[Crash (magazine)|Crash]]'' magazine called it a fun and humorous beat-'em-up.<ref name="Crash">((cite magazine  |last1=Caswell |first1=Mark |title=Crude Buster |magazine=[[Crash (magazine)|Crash]] |date=26 April 1990 |issue=76 (May 1990) |url=https://www.solvalou.com/arcade/reviews/84/89))</ref> ''[[Sinclair User]]'' also noted the game's humor, comparing it to playing an interactive cartoon. They wrote that it was even better than other recent Data East games, including the game's predecessor, ''[[Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja]]''. The magazine dubbed it a "classic" in terms of style and gameplay.<ref name="SU">[https://www.solvalou.com/arcade/reviews/129/89 "Crude Buster"]. Sinclair User. June 1990. pp. 56-57.</ref>

The Mega Drive version was also well-received. ''[[Mega (magazine)|Mega]]'' magazine placed the game at #37 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.<ref>Mega magazine issue 1, page 76, [[Future Publishing]], Oct 1992</ref> ''[[MegaTech]]'' magazine said it was "the first Megadrive beat 'em up that comes close to rivalling ''[[Streets of Rage]]''".
