There were fighting games on ATARI I think.

May not have been the first, but I tell you what started the fighting genre in the right direction!

Karate Champ for the NES. "Round 1, FIGHT!"

Anywho, I have no idea what bendhur was trying to accomplish. And I thing Phylinte is right about it being on the ATARI or something.

The first fighting game was for the atari in 1979. It's called Warriors and it's not based on the movie, it's about knights

It started with the simple side scrollers where you beat up random enemies. Than someone said, "Hey, I'd love to be able to play this style of game against my buddy to see who indeed is better at it."

Warriors may have been the first, but Street Fighter II was where the fighting genre took off. Much like Resident Evil soared on the Survival Horror ground rules that Alone in the Dark set years before it.
