- TRIVIA -
Released in April 1988.
This game is known in Japan as "Dragonninja".
'Bad Dudes' acquired something of a cult status, due in no small part to its tongue-in-cheek humour; such as the game's introduction by a Secret Service agent informing the player that 'President Ronnie has been kidnapped by the Ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Ronnie?' After saving the President, Reagan appears in the Oval Office and delivers the line : 'Hey Dudes Thanks, for rescuing me, let's go for a burger...'.
The game includes a cameo appearance by "Karnov" (a hero in his own Data East game), who oddly enough, appears as an enemy boss rather than the good guy this time around!
The trucks on the second stage say 'Kikuchi Co., Ltd'. Kikuchi Co is a real company established on November 1953 in Japan. It manufactures and sells automobile body frame components and it is affiliated to Honda.
Polystar / Datam released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Deco History Scene I : Data East Game Music Scene One - H25X-20008) on 25/09/1988.
A Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja unit appears in the 1990 movie 'Robocop 2', and in the 1989 movie "Parenthood".
- UPDATES -
The Japanese version, "Dragonninja", has a different ending sequence to that of the US version.

Artwork available
WIP:
- 0.145u5: ANY and The Dumping Union added clone Dragonninja (bootleg).
- 0.143u8: Kanikani fixed DIPSW in clone Dragonninja (Japan).
- 16th October 2010: f205v dumped Dragon Ninja (World bootleg) (1988).
- 0.136u2: dlfrsilver replaced clone Dragonninja set with one dumped from a genuine Data East PCB. Fixed rom names. Changed OKI6295 clock speed to 1MHz.
- 12th March 2009: Guru - Bad Dudes arrived for decapping 8751 MCU.
- 2nd February 2009: Guru - We just picked Bad Dudes (for 8751 microcontroller).
- 16th November 2008: Guru - I recently picked up a pile of junk for spares and repairs from a local friend. It turned out there was quite a bit of interesting stuff in this lot. As far as I can make out, I got a Bad Dudes / Dragon Ninja bootleg.
- 13th May 2007: Mr. Do - Thanks to the BYOAC/CAG artwork, we have a release for Bad Dudes bezel.
- 21st April 2006: Roberto Fresca - Fixed 'Difficulty' dipswitches in Bad Dudes and clone. Changed "Unused" (DSW0, 0x80) to "Unknown" (according to some technical sources should be "Cabinet").
- 0.37b1: Added 'Service Mode' dipswitch.
- 17th March 2000: Zsolt Vasvari fixed a romloader bug in the clone Dragon Ninja.

- 0.34b3: Dani Portillo added high score saving to Bad Dudes.
- 0.33b5: Nicola Salmoria fixed bug in ADPCM sample playback. Many games are affected, e.g. Robocop and Bad Dudes. Games which use the dynamic palette system and no longer need 16-bit modes. The new code is also used by drivers which were previously doing the palette reduction by themselves, but couldn't handle well color cycling and fades: Bad Dudes, Robocop, Hippodrome, Heavy Barrel, Sly Spy and Midnight Resistance [Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.31: Bryan McPhail added Bad Dudes (Data East 1988) and clone Dragonninja.
