Summary

Violence Fight drops you into cramped, eight‑directional arenas where you can punch, kick, jump and combine those inputs for special moves. From the start you pick one of four fighters—balanced Bad Blue, speedy marine Ben Smith, brawler‑turned‑wrestler Lick Joe, or kung‑fu‑trained Lee Chen—each with a distinct feel and a handful of unique attacks. Matches are best‑of‑three rounds, with a 100‑second timer and a health bar that ticks down from 100 as you land blows or toss crates, barrels and other stage props at your opponent. The stages scroll left‑right and up‑down, sometimes littered with breakable items that become improvised weapons, and a surprise bonus round pits you against a charging tiger. After clearing a few stages you face two bosses: head‑butting farmer Ron Max, who fights amid flying beer bottles, and chain‑wielding gang leader Tony Won, the mastermind behind the whole affair. The game’s arcade feel is pure 80s beat‑’em‑up, with simple controls that reward timing and a bit of strategic positioning.

Storyline

The arcade beat‑'em‑up Violence Fight is set in the United States during the early 1960s – the attract screen mistakenly calls it the 1950s, a mistake later corrected in the Arcade Archives version. An underground fighting tournament called the Violence Fight has captured both the criminal underworld and the general public, drawing mobsters, street thugs and even ordinary citizens who crave the high‑stakes action. Fighters from all over the country enter the competition to win a hefty cash prize and the coveted title of “No. 1 Quarreler.” Among the entrants is a young Los Angeles brawler named Bad Blue (spelled Bat Blue in some parts of the game), who hopes to claim the title and split the winnings with his manager, Blinks.
