The Way of the Exploding Fist - Melbourne House (1985)

The first real class beat ‘em up on the Commodore 64 was The Way of the Exploding Fist.  Programmed in Australia, the simple aim of the game is to defeat as many opponents as you can and thus improving your rating (known as a dan).  There are plenty of kicks and punches to learn and when coupled with great sound and good graphics, this is enjoyable in both 1 and 2 player modes.
