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.

Gameplay

Fatal Fury has only three action buttons: A punch, B kick and C throw. You can guard upper attacks by holding Left, while Down-left guards lower attacks.  START  has no function other than pause the game.

In versus mode all characters are available except for Geese Howard, though he can be unlocked by holding Left on both controllers and pressing  START , at the screen where you choose to play against another player or the computer.

Versions

The Mega Drive version was handled by a team comprised of staff from Japanese developers Gai Brain 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.
