Shadow Fighter vs Ultimate Body Blows

Shadow Fighter is a 1994 fighting title for the Commodore Amiga and Amiga CD32, developed by NA.P.S. Team and published by Gremlin Interactive. It offers a roster of 17 characters from around the world, plus two hidden fighters, and a secret cheat‑unlocked character named Pupazz. The game features a traditional three‑round format, a toggleable blood mode, and a training dummy for move practice. It runs at a steady 25 fps (or 50 fps with a cheat on AGA Amigas) and was praised as one of the Amiga’s best fighting games of its era.

Ultimate Body Blows is a compilation of the original Amiga fighting hit Body Blows and its sequel Body Blows Galactic, brought to modern PC. The collection adds richer colors, upgraded graphics, new music, extra backgrounds and endings, delivering a nostalgic arcade experience. Players can choose from 22 fighters—including the invincible Max and the Terminator T17—and battle in single‑player or head‑to‑head multiplayer modes. The game preserves the fast‑paced, button‑mashing combat that defined early 90s arcade fighters while offering modern compatibility.
