Slaughter Sport, called Fatman (ファットマン) in Japan, is a fighting game developed by Brian A. Rice, Inc. for the Sega Mega Drive in 1990. It was previously released as Mondu's Fight Palace and Tongue of the Fatman for Commodore 64 and DOS computers, respectively (and were working titles for this version). The Mega Drive version was not released in Europe.

Slaughter Sport is an early fighting game in which you fight various opponents in a tournament to please a character named "Mondu the Fat". There is no character selection screen, and the game is notoriously difficult to play.

History

Development

Mondu's Fight Palace was announced relatively early on in the Mega Drive's lifespan, and was set to be published in North America by Mediagenic (trading as Activision) in Autumn 1990^[6] (and then January 1991^[7]). Following rulings of multi-million dollar patent infringements, Mediagenic spent much of this period being in significant debt, dealing with a Robert Kotick-led buyout and a US chapter 11 bankruptcy, before re-emerging a couple of years later back under the Activision name.

During this period Activision pulled out of the Mega Drive market, and Mondu's Fight Palace was put on hold in the summer of 1991^[8], finding a new publisher in Razorsoft and being finally released in December of that year under its final Slaughter Sport name.

None of these events affected the Japanese release.
