Fatal Fury

Synopsis:

Fatal Fury, known as Garou Densetsu: Shukumei no Tatakai (餓狼伝説 宿命の戦い) in Japan, is the first in a successful line of versus fighting games developed by SNK. Originally released for Neo Geo MVS arcade hardware in 1991, the game was ported to a variety of home platforms including the Sega Mega Drive in 1993. The Mega Drive version was handled by a team comprised of staff from Japanese developers Gai Brain and Aspect, and was published by Takara. This version removes the characters of Hwa Jai and Billy Kane from the roster. Instead, the player is challenged by the other two main characters over the course of the single-player mode. Hwa Jai makes a cameo in the background of Duck King's stage, and Billy Kane can be seen in the background of Richard Myer's stage. The bonus rounds have been removed as well. The two-on-one battles from the original game (when a second player joins in the middle of a match against the computer) have been removed, and a second player cannot join during a single-player game. Instead, there is a dedicated versus mode. Players can play as any character in the versus mode (with Geese Howard available via a cheat code).
