• Illustration — Gameplay screenshot Fight 'N' Jokes is a fighting video game in which players select one of ten cartoon characters and challenge the others in bouts within the time limit across ten locations. Each character has a special move that can be performed using button combinations, requiring an energy meter to fill to use. There are six different modes, including a Training Mode to practice the abilities of the selected character.

Fight 'N' Jokes was developed by Italian studio Nasty Brothers Software, formed by programmer Antonio Lattanzio and his brother Cosimo, with art by Francesco Lupo and Antonio Capuano. Antonio stated that he began programming at the age of 14 in 1990, and Fight 'N' Jokes was developed using Assembly with the intent to create a game similar to Mortal Kombat. The game was republished for the Nintendo Switch in 2022, and Microsoft Windows in 2024 by New Zealand publisher Mental Drink.

Describing the game as a "welcome novelty", Giochi per il mio computer praised the humor and ironic tone of Fight 'N' Jokes, its accessibility and graphic design reminiscent of comic strips, whilst considering it lacked attack options. PC Game Parade favorably compared the game to Super Street Fighter II, and found it fun to play and well-executed. However, the publication felt that whilst the visuals were aesthetically appealing, the game was not innovative and its lack of three-dimensional graphics and vertical scrolling made it old-fashioned in nature.
