I'm more familiar with Bushido Blade 2. I had a friend who introduced me to a couple PS1 games. This was among those I kept enjoying. Bushido Blade 2 I actually played before the original. You get a campaign that has different final bosses to a degree. You also get a mode to defeat a lot of enemies in one setting. It's a more realistic weapon based fighting game. I could argue it rivaling Soul Edge which I also had on the same system. The stages are mind blowing well designed. The audio as a whole always stuck with me for years. Easily among the best fighting games on the system. You get a great roster of characters. To me this was better than the original Bushido Blade. It's a shame Square Enix never released this franchise. I know a lot of people that absolutely would love this!!!
Bushido Blade and Bushido Blade 2 were a blast to play! Unbelievable underrated games. One good hit and you are dead, yes, but it just worked and was absolutely fun! It had a lot of different characters, a couple of hidden ones that were challeging to unlock, not to mention the Bosses, each with their own gimmick. There were different weapons other than the katana. Discovering what character were better with which one was part of the fun, as well. Playing versus a friend always resulted in some hillarious moments. Simply, there are no games like these two that I know of.

Spy Hunter IIThe arcade sequel to Spy Hunter. It appeared in arcades and is simultaneously playable by two players.
Pit-FighterThe gameplay is similar to Taito's Violence Fight and SNK's Street Smart. The player must jump, punch, and kick their opponent until his/her energy runs out. If the player presses all three of the buttons at a time, the character will perform a "super move". The player begins Pit-Fighter by choosing one of the three playable characters, who all have different moves, speed, and power.
In the player select screen in the arcade version, each player has a color to select the fighters with: for player one it's blue, for player two it's red and for player three it's yellow. As many as three people can play at a time, but there will be extra opponents to fight during any of this game's 15 different matches.
Every third fight is a bonus round known as a Grudge Match.[1] In a Grudge Match, the player must fight against a CPU controlled clone of his or her fighter (if playing alone) or the other players in a multiplayer game. Getting knocked down three times eliminates a player from the Grudge Match, the winner is the last man standing. Losing the Grudge Match does not eliminate a player, but the winner gets bonus money.
The final battle, the "Championship Match", is between the player and the mysterious entity that taunts between matches every once in a while, the Masked Warrior. If more than one person is playing the game before this match, they must fight each other to the death until only one becomes victorious and can fight him.
Sometimes during matches the player will come across foreign objects such as knives, crates, sticks, motorcycles, and bar stools that can be thrown at you or your opponent. The player may also come across a power-up known as the "power pill". If the player or the opponent grab this item, one will become temporarily stronger and take less damage from hits.
At times even the crowd will interfere in the fights. Two characters, known as Knife Man (Milt Loper) and Knife Woman (Dianne Bertucci), will come out of the crowd and stab the player with their daggers. The player can take these nuisances out with one hit. Sometimes there is also a fat bearded man with a stick. If the player knocks him down, the player can take the stick and use it against the current opponent.
The audience will also push any fighter that ends up among them, and stays there more than a few seconds. They will be forced back into the fighting area.Survival
Dirty HarryDirty Harry is based on the popular Clint Eastwood movie character of "Dirty" Harry Callahan (rather than the specific movie "Dirty Harry"), a cop famous for his use of a .44 magnum for doing away with evildoers, and for his catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day." In fact, the game begins with a digitized sample of that quote. The game play consists primarily of side-scrolling action. Dirty Harry can punch and kick the copious thugs that assault him using their own fists, guns, baseball bats, nets, and dynamite. The hero can also pull is .44 and aim it in 5 directions in order to pick off enemies, but the ammo is limited. Further, Dirty Harry has a number of other tools at his disposal, provided he collects them.Action

James 'Buster' Douglas Knock Out BoxingFinal Blow is an action game based around the sport of boxing. You can play the fighters in a sequence of knock-out competitions, (the computer versions also include a round-robin league). Rounds last one minute, with a short break in between them. As in the real sport, your aim is to knock your opponent down for 10 seconds, by gradually weakening him with a series of punches. You can block punches, to avoid them inflicting damage onto you. The ring is of a limited size, so players can be cornered, although the referee will intervene to break the boxers up if they become entangled in a stalemate position.Action
