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.
In Fatal Fury, the user can select one of three characters - brothers Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard or Joe, who must defeat Geese Howard.

Versions
The Mega Drive version was handled by a team comprised of staff from Japanese developers Gaibrain and Aspect, and was published by Takara. While considered by critics to be a respectable version of the game for the more limited hardware (as well as including all the characters in two player matches - something the SNK versions lack), the characters of Billy Kane and Hwa Jai are completely absent in this version of the game.
