1283: Way of the Exploding Fist C64 \\ This 1985 fighting game rules & is free
0Playing the PAL Commodore 64 game "The Way of the Exploding Fist" in VICE, "the Versatile Commodore Emulator." Fist is a 1985 C64 fighting game, later released as a free download by its developer/publisher Beam Software through their '90s web site: https://web.archive.org/web/19980521000115/http://www.beam.com.au/play_games.html
The old download link there doesn't work these days of course, but there are plenty of places hosting the game, for instance https://csdb.dk/release/?id=41977 and http://www.c64.com/games/76 .
As with Beam's other games of the era, Fist was designed for PAL video display, running at 50 fps.
There's a guide for the game here (keep in mind VICE may have different default keyboard keys for Fire, for instance): https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/The_Way_of_the_Exploding_Fist
