Play Best Of The Best Online

I remember picking up Best Of The Best for my Game Boy around 1992. It was published by Electro Brain, and it landed during that period when portable fighters were still figuring things out. You didn't get many complex brawlers on the small screen back then, so this one stood out simply for trying to be a full fighting game in your pocket.

You control a martial artist, moving from one opponent to the next in a world tournament. Your main goal is to defeat all the other fighters to become the champion. The combat relies on a combination of punches, kicks, and special moves executed with specific directional inputs. You fight screen by screen, facing each rival in a best-of-three match format. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can be sharp, especially when learning the timing for your character's more powerful attacks. It feels like a genuine test of your ability to learn and adapt under pressure.
