CURIOSITÀ
Crime Fighters è stato rilasciato in Giappone come verticale dedicato il 26 Aprile 1989. It was then released as a 4-Player conversion kit outside Japan as "Crime Fighters [4-Player Conversion Kit]".

Some bosses' character design in this game seem to have been inspired by popular horror movies, this seems true for three bosses in particular:
Stage 2 Boss: A parody of Jason Voorhees from 'Friday the 13th movie' series.
Stage 4 Boss: A distant parody of Leatherface from 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' movie series.
Stage 5 Boss: A parody of Freddy Krueger from 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' movie series.

The dying pose that the Stage 7 boss does seems to have been inspired by the movie poster from the 1986 film Platoon.

King Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Konami Game Music Collection Vol.2 - KICA-1016) il 21 Agosto 1990.

CONSIGLI E TRUCCHI

• When completing the game + BOSS stage, the game starts from the beginning; but you can take a weapon (eg. gun) from one level to the next (you don't lose it when completing one stage)! which means all bosses are really easy to finish.
• Unlimited Credits: Successfully complete the entire game two consecutive times.
