Pit Fighter – Nintendo Game Boy (1992)
Released in 1992, Pit Fighter is a side-scrolling beat ’em up for the Game Boy. Though originally titled Bloodsport in development, it eventually landed on the name Pit Fighter. The game lacks a deep story, throwing you into a brutal fighting tournament where you battle through increasingly difficult opponents. You brawl your way through the tournament using punches, kicks, and throws, with the goal of becoming the champion. Unlike many fighting games, Pit Fighter doesn’t offer extra lives or continues. You have one shot to win the entire tournament, making it a challenging and unforgiving experience.

Nemesis – Nintendo Game Boy (1990)
Nemesis, released in 1990 for the Game Boy, is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up developed by Konami. Though part of the Gradius franchise, it’s mostly an original experience. You pilot a starfighter through five unique stages, battling alien enemies and giant bosses. While the story is minimal, it follows the typical shoot ’em up format: defeating an invading alien force. Nemesis offers a power-up meter that lets you enhance your firepower and missiles. It even has hidden bonus stages for extra points and lives. Although it only has five stages, challenging enemies and fast-paced action make it a memorable Game Boy title.
