Black Belt - $5, complete - This is actually a Fist of the North Star game. The GB and NES Fist of the North Star games kept their license in the US, but the SMS and Genesis ones didn't; I don't know if Sega couldn't or didn't get a license for it, but in both cases the names were changed and the franchise removed.
At least in this case the violence stayed, though. In the Genesis game (Last Battle) the "people explode when you punch them" aspect was removed in favor of simply punching people off of the screen; in this game, though, people do indeed explode when you punch them, as they should. That's nice. :)
As for the game, it's far from great, but it's okay I guess. It's basically a side-scrolling beat 'em up with bits of early fighting game in it. Walk right, hit people, get frustrated at the difficulty and repetition, rinse and repeat. Worth getting anyway, though.
