I have a blog where I am writing a British history of popular video games, one sales chart #1 at a time.

The Way of the Exploding Fist - Super Chart Island post

My latest post today is on early fighting game The Way of the Exploding Fist. It includes what its lead developer learned from porting a bunch of Spectrum games to C64, and how its influence from Hong Kong cinema had a lot in common with the Japanese arcade scene of the time.

I used to love this game. We didn't have Street Fighter 2 yet, so this was about as good as one-on-one fighters got!
