Karate Champ! I spent so much money on this game. At the Safeway where I used to live, my mom would go shopping and I would play Karate Champ. I was a black belt on the sticks.
Haha, my weakness in that game was that all I wanted to do was give dudes piledrivers. It worked well until you started to face the better guys. I had forgotten all about that game.

And that continues to this day...
That game was awesome. I remember when you'd get to the hard matches it was so hopeless. You'd just get up slower, and slower and slower.
This thread got me thinking about a game that used to be in Wizards Castle, that for the life of me I can't remember the name of. It's really obscure so I don't have high hopes of finding out what it was, but here is my sketchy description.
It was a space game that was in quasi-3D, kinda like Marble Madness. You ran around with this Ray gun zapping aliens and robots and collecting crystals to power up your blaster. You frequently went up escalators. Hmm, what else? It was multiplayer co-op. Ring any bells? I'll bet the 50's greaser guy who worked at WC would know...

The best move in the game only worked with Coco Savage.
If you flung him into the ropes and tried to hit him with a cross body block, he would try to do the same sending you both over the top rope to the floor below.
The Pile Driver was impossible to use once you got by Savage.

Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters?
As soon as you mentioned quasi-3D and escalators, this was the first thing I thought of.

Ahhh! No way! Can't believe you found that, thanks! Wonder if I can find an emulator of it anywhere? So sweet dude!
Even though the game was rare and not well known, it had a very unique style. I still remember drooling over screenshots of the game in an early issue of EGM in the late 80's.
I spent a ton of money on Super Off Road my freshman year in college. Great game.
Noticably missing for me is Gyruss. My favorite shooter of all time.
