Fatal Fury - Neo Geo MVS (Arcade) - Long Play - Part 2. Recorded on a real Neo Geo system. Later, I may attempt a speed run at the game, but as you can probably tell, I need a little more practice. However, I was hoping to show some of the strategies one could use to finish the game. Anyway, this is the first game in the classic series of video games, developed by SNK (now known as SNK Playmore). Its original Japanese name is Garou Densetsu (roughly translated, Legend of the Wolves), and it stars Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and their friend Joe Higashi, as they seek vengeance against Geese Howard. Garou: Mark of the Wolves and the Real Bout series, well known for their fighting systems, are well known sequels to this flagship Neo Geo titled. This game is where the King of Fighters tournament actually got its start! Not only was this great fighting game ported to the Neo Geo CD and Neo Geo AES home systems, it has also been released on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console, as well!

Fatal Fury isn’t quite the Street Fighter 2 ripoff that many suspect it to be. It actually began development before Capcom’s legendary game did. Also, while now a bit dated, Fatal Fury introduced unique new mechanics for its time. It included what would later be called “Dramatic Battle” by the Street Fighter Alpha series, which consists of two players versus one cpu opponent. It also made use of multiple planes of fighting, adding depth to the gameplay. The graphics, music, general presentation, depth of the storyline and characters, as well as the aforementioned gameplay mechanics influenced later games in the series.
