Pit-Fighter

This was the first video game I played whose characters were computerized version of actual people, bringing an unusually realistic look. Furthering the realism is that game at most doesn't ascribe superhuman traits to its subjects. The only version of reference for me is the one released to video arcades. Players could chose between Buzz, the body builder, Ty, the kick-boxer, and Kato, whose specialty is unclear. The 'points' used in the game are money, with the premise being that each fighter is competing for cash in a no-holds-barred gladiatorial forum. Players must be aware of hostile characters from the crowd who can harm them, and themselves be harmed. Power pills are available in certain rounds to maximize offense. Knives, chairs, and drums are sometimes available. In between fatal competition is a bonus round where the player competes against a mirror of their fighter to win extra money. Damage in the bonus round doesn't affect the life values. The goal of the game is to unseat the Masked Warrior at the end to earn the title of Champion.

I remembered the time when when I was a kid in 1990.

My uncle would used to go to the arcades and would tell us about every game that he played. But when he began talking about "Pit-Fighter", it never got to me until last year when I surfed through the internet and accidentally saw it on "ScrewAttack's Top 10 Worst Fighting Games".

And to tell you the truth, the arcade version of Pit-Fighter was among the best version of all; while the console versions like the Lynx and genesis versions were god awful.

But not only that, it's the three shirtless hunks that I admire the most and out of these three fine combatants, Ty is what I play with because he's the CUTEST!!! Overall, it's not bad and I love it.
