Overview
Description

Best of the Best: Championship Karate is a retro fighting game that puts players in a linear championship tournament focused on kick‑boxing techniques. Developed by Loriciels and Futura, the title delivers fast‑paced, two‑player bouts with simple controls and sprite‑based graphics. Released in November 1992, the game offers a single‑player campaign where you climb the ranks against increasingly skilled opponents, as well as head‑to‑head multiplayer matches that capture the spirit of early 90s arcade martial‑arts competition.

WWF Attitude brings the excitement of 1990s professional wrestling to your screen, featuring a roster of more than 40 iconic superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker. Customize move sets and costumes to craft a unique competitor and dominate the squared circle. The game supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer, with two‑man commentary from Shane McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler adding authentic broadcast flavor. Perfect for fans of classic wrestling action and competitive couch co‑op.
