Overview
Description

Pit-Fighter is an arcade fighting game where players choose from three distinct characters and battle through 15 matches, using punches, kicks, and environmental objects to deplete opponents' energy. Every third fight is a Grudge Match bonus round, and the final showdown pits the survivor against the mysterious Masked Warrior. The game supports up to three players simultaneously, features interactive crowds, power‑ups like the power pill, and a variety of weapons such as knives, crates, and motorcycles, delivering chaotic, fast‑paced combat.

Power Instinct is a one-on-one 2D fighting game that follows the tradition of Street Fighter II. Players choose from eight distinct fighters, each with unique moves, and battle through successive opponents in arcade mode. The original arcade release focuses on pure fighting action, while later console ports added practice, battle, time attack, and life attack modes. The game centers around the Gouketsuji clan's five‑year tournament, inviting players to prove their skill and claim the clan's rule.
