Overview
Description

Bad Street Brawler puts you in the shoes of Duck Davis, a street‑wise fighter battling gangsters, gorillas, and even pocket‑book‑throwing old ladies across gritty urban streets. Designed for the Mattel Power Glove on the NES, the game delivers classic beat‑'em‑up action with a quirky cast of enemies. Developed by Beam Software and published by Mattel in 1989, this title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, letting friends team up for chaotic brawls. Its retro graphics and simple controls capture the nostalgic feel of early arcade fighters while providing a fun, over‑the‑top experience.

Elden Ring is a challenging open-world action RPG that brings FromSoftware’s punishing combat into a vast, explorable land conceived with George R. R. Martin. It rewards curiosity and mastery with deep build variety and cryptic, atmospheric storytelling.

Sunk way too many hours into Elden Ring. Massive, rewarding open world. No real complaints. Would recommend.

Fun with caveats

Picked up Elden Ring recently. Upside: high replay value. Downside: very difficult, steep learning curve.
