Game Overview

Battle with tne Booard Brothers

When we last saw Geese Howard, his unspeakable butt was falling off a high rise and expected to become a big red spot on the pavement.

No such luck.

He's made a miraculous return, and he's on the list of fighters you have to bust through to win the title.

You play as either of the brothers Terry and Andy Bogard, their friend Joe Higashi, ninja master Mai Shiranui, sensei Tung Fu Rue, street-dancing fighter Duck King, cudgel master Billy Kane, the evil Geese Howard, or Art of Fighting alum Ryo Sakazaki.

Three (Count'Em, Three) Games in One

You can play Fatal Fury Special three ways.

Choose King of the Fighters to go up against each of the nine opponents and become reigning champ.

Select the Versus Game to fight a friend head to head (using a Gear-to-Gear cable) or go against the computer in the location of your choice.

Go for the Survival Game and choose six fighters each for yourself and the computer (or another player Gear-to-Gear), and battle until one competitor is out of combatants.

No matter how you play it, this game offers furious Fighting to take on the road!

Overview

Portable gamers, prepare.

Prepare to show your fury.

Kicks, punches, special moves, and super moves are all yours for the asking with Fatal Fury Special from Takara for the Game Gear.

The hugely popular Fatal Fury series makes its way to the small screen with nearly everything that the original arcade game had intact.

One or two players (Gear-totiear) bust heads all over the world.

With nine fighters to choose from in nine stages, this 4-meg cart is chock-full of blistering Fighting action.

Who's gonna be King of the Fighters?

That's up to you and your talents.

Hot Hints

Learn your fighter's Super Attack. It can get you out of hot water when you're nearly down for the count.

Throws are considered cheap by many, but they work.

Choose a fighter (like Terry or Andy) who has moves against both jumping opponents and distance attacks.

Play defensively. Block attacks and then counter.
