Dragon Fist 2

Dragon Fist 2 was one of those straightforward fighting games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to reinvent the wheel. You picked a character and jumped into a series of one-on-one matches, the kind of simple setup that made for a quick break between other tasks.

You control a martial artist, moving left and right with the arrow keys. The moment-to-moment play is about timing your punches and kicks, mapped to the T and Y keys, to whittle down your opponent's life bar. A special move adds a bit of flair to the exchanges. The goal is to defeat ten opponents, each one presenting a slightly tougher challenge than the last. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty has a noticeable climb. It feels like a direct, no-frills test of your reaction speed.
