TheUntouchable is added on the list: Has anyone else heard about this game? I played it and even liked it back in the days. The company had a sequel planned, that was supposed to have Cynthia Rothrock in it. Instead, they've made Bikini Karate Babes.

Best of Best (not to be confused with Best of the Best) is pretty much as good a fighting game as you'd expect from SunA (in other words, not at all). Characters range from a blatant Rambo knock-off who swings his ammo belt at you to an ugly woman with scoliosis. The Statue of Liberty stage is priceless because of her facial expression throughout the fight. This is the kind of game Retsupurae would riff on.

I played it and even liked it back in the days. The company had a sequel planned, that was supposed to have Cynthia Rothrock in it. Instead, they've made Bikini Karate Babes. So...BKB is its spiritual sequel? Cool! As a DBZ fan I'm really curious how you can not have Ultimate Battle 22. Never played the GT one, but it cannot be half as bad as UB22. You wanna talk about games that ruined your day as a child... Even thought I knew the game by the name but never played, read reviews about it (and as I can see it had plenty of negative ones) or saw any gameplay videos until I read your post and checked it right away: OMG! It's definitely emparassing. Is this supposed to be a Playstation fighting? Even Dragonball fightings for SNES look more impressive (at least they have decent graphics and animation, don't know about the gameplay): Even the openings of DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 are lazy-made and lame. At least most Dragonball games even if they are shitty they have at least awesome openings. Like in DBZ Final Bout: When I was in high school and playing this game - ok, it's not like I played it many time or I had any better choices - I would watch the opening again and again (yeap, I'm a proud Dragonball fan since the first season). Ok! Ultimate Battle 22 added to the list! The Statue of Liberty stage is priceless because of her facial expression throughout the fight. +1. I could play this game only and only for this stage. ;D Such a shame the rest of the stages are not as wacky as this one.

[/quote] It is pretty much stolen artwork from a Home Alone 2 Movie poster. uk.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/99/MPW-49696I think Fight Box a UK only sold game for PS2 and PC and a really bad GBA version with tiny sprites should be on this. One of the weirdest fighting games ever.

Spitting Image, based on a satyrical puppet show, features world leaders of the time (1989) duking it out. This is the Amiga version, but there are for ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC too, although given the quality that transpires from here, I'm afraid they may be even worse, without the saving grace of the graphics.

Spitting Image added to the list as an awesome, wacky fighting that only in the '80s - '90s they would make for computers.

Thanks to HOTUD (one of the sites that preserved the database of Home of the Underdogs), I'm finding a few more PC fighting games, but I found no movies of them.
Anyway, another Amiga fighter, Dangerous Streets, made by an Italian developer called Micromania (at least other italians later made Shadow Fighter and Fighting Spirit). These movies are from the A1200 and CD32 versions. I'm really afraid to try the PC version.
EDIT: Thanks to TV Tropes I can also present Human Killing Machine for the Atari ST. This video-review also shows the absurd technical constraint of having all the animation frames of every character fitting into a screen - since the boss is bigger, well...

How did I forgot about Human Killing Machine? And I'm fan of ASHENS. Added to the list. Õïu should also check the rest of the videos (or at least some of them) from ASHENS channel. By the way could you give me the link with the article at TV Tropes from where you found about this game?

tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Horrible/VideoGames"Third Generation" folder. The entry on HMK has a link to the video I posted. There are some more fighting games listed throughout, and I entered a few there after trying them personally at a retrogaming event in mid-2010 (Shadow for 3DO haunted me for a month after). I tried to run a shareware fighting game called Antagony on DosBox, to no avail. There's a credits screen, with names showing that developer Triniti Software (no typo) was probably French, and I couldn't proceed from there. Its Mobygames entry has no screenshots. Anyway, my recommendation is still to browse the Beat Em Up category at HOTUD, although it doesn't distinguish between one-on-one and scrolling ones.

I found a pretty bad one recently. Tekken 2 on the NES. Tekken was never really my cup of tea (I always thought the Soul Calibur series was superior), but putting it on the NES is just silly. It's in 2D, so it makes it little more sense, but it's still really bad.

I checked out the list and found there Windy X Windam for DS which I played years ago. I'm not surprised since this fighting was so emparrassingly bad-made it reminds me some crappy anime-based/anime-style fightings for SNES. Even the ratings at Gamefaqs.com talk themselves: www.gamefaqs.com/ds/945704-windy-x-windamAnd see for yourself at the gameplay video: And for those who think that it's ok for the DS standars just check out One Piece Gigant Battle, Bleach DS or even Jump Ultimate Star and make the comparisons. Added to the list.
