What's the best fighting game for the Amiga?

Ironclaw · 21 August 2006, 12:20

I just played Street Fighter II Turbo and it was quite nice, having combos and all.

Are there any more Amiga fighting games with combos?

My top 5 list of the best fighting games on the Amiga is:

1. Mortal Kombat II
2. Ultimate Body Blows
3. Super Street Fighter II Turbo
4. Shadow Fighter
5. Fightng Spirit

I prefere fast and smooth fighting games.

I believe Shadow Fighter has combos.

My favourites are:

1. Shadow Fighter
2. Mortal Kombat II
3. Barbarian
4. International Karate
5. Body Blows Galactic

Don't need fighting games.... I just watch my four kids tear each other apart - Mortal Kombat style.

Ahem....
1. IK+ (return to time and time again)
2. Body Blows
3. Shadow Fighter
4. Shaq Fu (I think it has combos - can't remember)
5. Super Street Fighter series

IK+. Chambers of Shaolin was neat when it came but looks old now.

21 August 2006, 22:28

IK+ , unlimited fun !

In other style/genre i really enjoyed Panza Kick Boxing

DamienD · 22 August 2006, 01:23

Me to... Panza Kick Boxing is awesome

Ray Norrish · 22 August 2006, 02:48

I always liked IK+, but elfmania looked nice

sarek2k · 22 August 2006, 03:20

i concur with the last 4 guys to post Ik+, Panza kick boxing (when we finally got the English verison and could customize our own moves that was awesome), Elfmania was very pretty if a little lacking! and of course chambers of shoalin an old but still great game!

I also remember a robots game (NO not rise of the shite robots) but another one like metal mutants or masters or summat like that if i could be arsed to lookin hol right know i'd know which it was lol

s2325 · 22 August 2006, 07:43

Metal Kombat? http://hol.abime.net/4617 Crappy game :/

Muzkat · 22 August 2006, 14:26

Either that or Metal Masters

spiff · 22 August 2006, 18:41

IK+ and Panza got it right, speed, tight controls, timing. All of the others where crap SF2 with onebuttonisallIgot conversions.

The beat em up genere is a bit hard on the amiga, or any system before 92. Street fighter II raised the bar for good playability with speed, combos, alternate characters, timing (one of the most important aspects of beat em ups) and pretty much made all of the old VS beat em ups obsolete.

For example, the point of a weak punch (jab) is to get a few short in and then finish of with a hard punch (swing).. almost all of them got this wrong. And let’s not forget the “jump forward, nah I don’t feel like it move back again in the air” jump

That is unless you count the sidescrollers like golden axe, good stuff.

manicx · 23 August 2006, 08:48

IK+
Panza's Kick Boxing
Chambers of Shaolin
Fightin Spirit
Barbarian

I play fighting games, but never would bother playing one on Amiga if it was had a Megadrive, SNES, or Neo Geo version.

CFOU! · 23 August 2006, 11:12

Shadow fighter is great and have for me better gameplay

StarEye · 23 August 2006, 11:19

I'm guessing scrolling beat'em ups doesn't count?

Neo Geo has the best game imo.

Neo-Geo rocks

Bring on KOF, Samurai Shodown, The Last Blade etc...

Ironclaw · 23 August 2006, 17:50

I was a rom freak, had all neo geo, played them all.... now I only have the ones I like to play for all systems... to save space.
my fav of ALL rom games is Killer Instinct on Ultra64.

Try Beats of Rage or the thousand mods for Openbor (SDL Version is the best) for some platforms.
