Another early fighter that set the stage for many games to come with the high/mid/low system of punches and kicks.

my favourite 1984 famicom fighting game oat

A bit boring but always fun to see where the origins of something lies regardless of the outcome. I played through the Famicom version, which has less opponents as a heads up, so it ends up quite a bit more repetitive that other versions.

Surprisingly not terrible for a pioneer of such a complex genre. While very simple you'll need to figure out how to properly approach every enemy, which makes the game fun through its short run time.
The chinese jingle of the NES version will be burnt into my mind for all my life, right besides the Circus Charlie crowd cheers
