Bad Street Brawler is one of those NES games that feels like it was cooked up at 3 AM after someone watched too many cheesy '80s action flicks. You play as Duke Davis—this ridiculous blond dude in sunglasses and a yellow tank top who punches his way through gangs, gorillas, and even old ladies hurling purses like they’re Olympic shot-putters. Yeah, it’s as weird as it sounds.

The Power Glove support is hilariously awkward (because, let’s be real, the Power Glove was never precise), but that almost adds to the charm. Between levels, you get these random fortune-cookie-style quotes that make zero sense for a beat-’em-up, and the "Trip" move looks… questionable at best. It’s janky, it’s dumb, and somehow, that’s why I keep coming back to it.

If you’re into so-bad-it’s-good retro games, this one’s a time capsule of weird NES energy.
