    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.

    Story

    Terry and his younger brother Andy were orphans who raised themselves on the streets of South Town. They were adopted by Jeff Bogard, a master martial artist, who was later brutally murdered by the local crime boss Geese Howard for threatening to expose his wrongdoings.

    Ten years later, Geese Howard now rules over every aspect of South Town. He has decided to organize a fighting tournament, called "The King of Fighters," gathering fighters from all over the world, including himself. Terry and Andy, who have both been honing their martial arts skills over the last decade, enter the tournament with intentions to avenge their adoptive father.

    Gameplay

    Fatal Fury MD, Gameplay.png

    Gameplay

    The game is a one-on-one fighting game. Two fighters try to knock each other out using a combination of punches, kicks, throws, and special moves. Matches are fought to the best of three rounds, with each round having a 60-second time limit. If time runs out, the fighter with the most vitality remaining is the winner. Stages have two layers, a foreground and a background lane, that can be moved between freely in order to dodge attacks.

    Characters move with Left and Right and crouch with Down. They jump with Up and flip back and forth with Up-left and Up-right. Characters can punch with A or kick with B. Though there is only one punch and one kick button, each character has three different standing punches and three different standing kicks depending on the distance to the opponent (far, close, or very close), in addition to different attacks when crouching or jumping. Every fighter also has special techniques performed by inputting specific directions with an attack button.

    Characters can throw nearby opponents by holding the D-Pad toward the opponent and pressing C. They can block attacks by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. Blocking while standing guards against high attacks (from a standing or jumping opponent), while blocking while crouched defends against both high and low attacks.

    Characters switch between lanes with Up+C. If an opponent is already in a different lane, the character can switch lanes with Up or perform a jumping attack across the lanes with A or B. Some attacks knock the opponent into the opposite lane.

    Modes

    There is a single-player story mode that can be played as Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, or Joe Higashi. The player can choose to fight Tung Fu Rue, Duck King, Michael Max, and Richard Myer in any order before facing Raiden and finally Geese Howard. The second and fifth fights are interrupted by a challenge from one of the other playable characters. The game has limited continues.

    There is also a versus mode where players can play a single match as any character against a computer or another human player (or watch two computer players fight).

    There are three difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents (Easy, Normal, and Hard).

    Characters

    Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, Left and Right should be reversed.

    P Punch
    K Kick
     THROW  Throw

    Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Joe Higashi are the only playable characters in the single-player story mode. All of the characters except Geese Howard are immediately playable in the versus mode (though Geese is playable by holding Left on both controllers and pressing  START  on the screen where the player chooses between a human or computer opponent).

    The characters of Billy Kane and Hwa Jai are absent in this version of the game.

    Versions

    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).

    The Super NES port discards the two-lane system for conventional one-lane fights. It includes Hwa Jai and Billy Kane but only allows the second player to control characters besides Terry, Andy, and Joe. The arm-wrestling bonus rounds from the original version were replaced with bonus stages where the character punches flying tires.
