Mega Drive port of the Neo Geo classic. Smaller sprites, simplified animation, but Ryo and Robert's vibe survives. More curiosity than reference, the Neo Geo is the real deal.

"From the very first seconds"
Trading blows in a duel where sprites zoom with distance, managing your spirit gauge to unleash devastating projectiles: this SNK fighter impresses as much as it hooks. The spectacular staging and the tension of every round give weight to each exchange. Raw and stylish, a classic of old-school versus.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Managing the spirit gauge, weaving special moves and taunts to break the opponent's guard sets up a tense duel where every round begs for a rematch. Unlocking techniques and pushing through story mode keeps the urge to go another round alive. The Mega Drive version suffers some slowdown and a trimmed roster, yet this resource-management hook keeps a sharp, magnetic bite.
