<Ed> MAME club is Black Widow
<Picto> ugh
<Ed> I was almost hoping it'd be like Black Tiger
<Heretic> Black Tiger is too close to Black Panther, and you know what that is.
<Ed> black panter...reminds me of a konami game
<Ed> oh wait
<Ed> it is! hahah
It's a decent game, actually, and quite unusual (both of them, actually. In fact, I just tried Black Widow...wow, it's the legendary QB-3! I had no idea).

Other choices:

Chelnov's subtitle outside Japan was "Nuclear Man, The Fighter."

Fit of Fighting, a really terrible Art of Fighting bootleg with equally horrible FM Sound. Just...terrible.

Mutation Nation. This title alone turned me off the game for at least five years. Interestingly enough, it turns out that it's a fairly decent game, much better than Robo Army in every way. The rhyme seems to add to the cheese value, while Robo Army provides...nothing, really. Maybe we can add The Super Spy in here, at that (add Ghoul School if you wish).

Taggin' Dragon. The cover art for this low-budget unlicensed NES game is far worse than the name implies, and manages to bring out all the iffy qualities the name implies...oh my.

Bally/Sente's Chicken Shift doesn't count as that was done wholly on purpose. Another game worth trying out, in fact.
