Fighting games... on PC?

Are there any fighting games, beat'em ups or something like that for PC? Because I don't have any consoles (My NES wires are missing).

I was in Tesco the other week. They were selling "Virtua Fighter (1) PC" for a dirt cheap price. It had a sticker on it saying "Grab it quick, whilst stocks last"
This game came out in 1996.
Called Kwon-Ho. I think its in open beta right now. Its not bad... but no controller support /cry
What he said. There's a surprising number of doujin fighters for the PC that are really high in polish.
edit: Hivemind?
You shut up! Oni was awesome.
Also, depending on who you ask, Melty Blood is either a lame hentai-derived game or a completely amazing fighter. I've never played it, but I'd love to, because I've heard enough good things to pique my interest.
No, the combat system was awesome, everything else around it, including story, voice acting and levels, was largely mediocre. Still, there was nothing sweeter in that game than getting into a brawl with 3 other guys and coming out completely unscathed. I think I probably only managed that once or twice, but it looks awesome when you pull it off.
Not quite a fighting fighting game, but I've always been a fan of Little Fighter 2:
http://www.lf2.net/
It's a sort of freeware Smash Bros' style brawler with anime influenced characters. You can play with up to 4 human players on 1 PC, and 8 over a network. It's also got a singleplayer game, which is essentially Double Dragon: LF2 edition.
In any case try it, you might like it. Very simple to play.
EDIT: Melty Blood was OK, but I could never get into it (largely because I can't be bothered to devote time to fighters to perfect my techniques. I rarely get into fighters in general). Graphics are OK too,
I'll also add in my vote for the Guilty Gear series, since it's very well animated and quite a deep fighter. Or at least I'm told it's a deep fighter (see above).
It's a shame Halo has basically overun bungie so much, I really want to know what they're going to do after Halo 3.
But it's really fun to beat up dudes.
It's free, too.
And yeah- Melty Blood is a beat-em-up. The hentai game is something else.
And I liked Oni.
Holy shit thanks for this! Just spent the better part of 2 hours playing. Got up to Mr X and died though
Also, I liked Oni way back when, great combat, I should check it out see if it's still fun. I remember the checkpointing being horrible though, and also I seem to recall it being pretty difficult. These two things together = not so much fun.
