Description official descriptions

Two rival characters meet up one day on the city streets and arrange a fight. Both characters will start in the middle with two blocks on either side of them leading to an open manhole. The first person to knock the other into the open manhole is the winner. Only punches are allowed, although obstacles such as falling flower pots can occur and give one player the advantage. Also, everyone is to look innocent should the police drive by.

This is a very early and simplistic fighting game. As mentioned, each player can only punch the other, trying to knock them off the screen and towards one of the waiting manholes.

A top contender for the worst Nintendo-developed game ever made

The Good
The graphics look ok.

The Bad
You fight the same opponent over and over again with no variation on how he fights you. Shallow combat system. When the police arrive, both fighters go back to the spots where the fight began; nullifying any progress you made to clear the round.

The Bottom Line
All around not a very good game.
