Little Fighter
DOSBeat 'em up
Little Fighter is a freeware side-scrolling beat-'em-up and fighting game developed by Marti Wong and Starsky Wong for DOS. Players control one of several martial artists and battle through groups of opponents in compact arenas, using punches, kicks, jumps, defensive moves, and special techniques. The game combines arcade-style stage combat with versus-oriented play, giving it a flexible multiplayer character. Its simple presentation and responsive combat helped establish the foundation for the later Little Fighter games, although the DOS original is considerably smaller and less elaborate than Little Fighter 2. It is chiefly remembered as an early Hong Kong freeware fighting project and as the starting point for a long-running fan-favorite series.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
