Fighting Street  Hudson Soft (Alfa System)1988These are the streets. And there are no rules when you do battle here.
STREETFIGHTER is strictly survival of the fittest against 8 of the baddest dudes from around the world.
Watch out for flying scissor kicks, lethal Ninja weapons, and other evil tricks.
Block their attacks while you counter with jabs and roundhouse kicks.
Don't drop your guard cause these guys aren't just b-b-b-b-bad. They're "Bad to the Bone."***
[37]***A perfect arcade-conversion of the first 'Street Fighter' game and a launch game for the PC-Engine CD-ROM. Too bad that the game itself isn't very good and nowhere near as good as the famous sequels. The characters just don't move smoothly enough. Otherwise the graphics are quite OK. The music is very good as well (no wonder since CD-quality music was rare in 1988). The speech on the other hand is one of the worst I've ever heard in a game. Except the music the game makes no use of the CD-ROM capabilities. No typical cut-scenes or other gimmicks.

Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Son Gokū Densetsu  Bandai1994Idainaru Son Goku Densetsu features Gohan telling Goten of the battles of their deceased father, Goku, along with other characters. The game illustrates Goku's seven greatest battles: fighting Mercenary Tao, challenging Tien Shinhan at the World Martial Arts Tournament, destroying King Piccolo, fighting Piccolo at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, protecting Earth from Vegeta, saving Namek from Frieza, and sacrificing his life to save the world from Perfect Cell.

The game does not let the player completely control Goku, instead choosing whether he is on the offence, defence, powering up, or running. There are also cut scenes that may happen in the middle of battle, triggered by certain actions from the series, such as Goku breaking Tao's sword with the Power Pole.***

Asuka 120% Maxima Burning Fest  Nec Avenue (Fill In Cafe)1995The game is set at the Ryōran Private School for Women which educates the daughters of the upper echelons of society. Every year, the school's clubs hold a martial arts tournament called the "Club Rivalry Budget Contest Mega Fight" to compete for increased budget to the winning school club. After repeated poor performances at previous tournaments, the Chemistry Club president, Tetsuko Ōgigaya, scouts and trains Asuka Honda to become this year's winner. Asuka now has to defeat members of several school clubs in order to succeed.

The game is a 1v1 fighting game in the vein of Street Fighter II. However, in Asuka 120% each character employs a fighting style and techniques unique to each club as opposed to particular martial arts. The game has a standard input system for special moves across the entire cast which hadn't been seen in other fighting games at the time.
