Bad Street Brawler is a 1987 arcade game by Beam Software Pty., Ltd. specifically designed for use with the Nintendo Power Glove . It was distributed worldwide by Mindscape Inc..

The player plays the character, Duke Davis, who walks around with blond hair, a yellow tank top, sunglasses, and yellow pants as he beats up gangsters that get in his way. Before the start of the next stage, quotes are introduced to entertain the player (i.e., Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you). The player even has to beat up gorillas and old ladies who throw pocketbooks at the player (resembling weightlifter dwarves who throw dumbbells at the player). Interestingly enough, the "Trip" attack more closely resembles groping.

The original Bad Street Brawler is one of the earliest beat-em-ups or side-scrolling fighting games.
