Can you guess this classic game from a single screenshot? If not, I’ll update this post later this afternoon with the name of the game, but if someone guesses sooner, feel free to chuck on the rose-tinted specs and reminisce over this awesome game.
Used to love that game. Can’t remember if I ever fully beat it. From memory, I think there were 5 people on the first load screen, once you get passed them, there’s another 5. After that, you go back to the first screen? I can’t quite remember.
Was one of my favourite games, but still loved International Karate better :)
The thing I remember about that game is how the other two fighters would attack each other in the earlier stages but later on they would totally gang up on you.
It gets to the point where you are lying on the ground and they are both just standing there waiting for you to get back up.
In previous levels they would have at least attacked each other while waiting.
I keep waiting for a IK+ remake on the xbox or something. Loved the controls back then. It was kinda the first hitstick type control that gets used in NHL or Fight night. Maybe I’ll fire up XNa again… oh wait, Indie Games is crap for Australians still!!!

Pole was particularly nasty with him often smacking your toe with his pole in one of the earliest unbreakable chains used by an AI.

I remember describing it to a friend once as ‘punching nuts and deflecting balls’. Oddly, he thought me strange.
