The scariest horror game of all time

Every time anyone asks me how old I am with regards to gaming - or like how far technology has come - or why I am so positive about the shambles of modern games - I show them this - which was the 2nd or 3rd game I ever played in like 1984 - and then after I show them the latest FIFA

Game’s probably okay idfk but it gets 5 stars for its legacy: an extremely funny wave of Starship Troopers discourse

I seriously could not tell you what possessed me to play this while I was doing my laundry. I was basically sitting there on my Everdrive Pro's game list, and I guess my brain went "oh man! Pit-Fighter! Remember that piece of shit!?"

Absolutely rancid port of an arcade game that ain't even that good. The sprites were shrunk so small that a inanimate thumbtack could probably solo all the morons in this game, and the music and sounds are that standard amateur-ish farty nonsense that shitlords on GameFAQs used as ammunition against me for when I say this system has fantastic sound. My favorite part of the whole game is when you score a knockdown and your TV rips a big fat smelly one that reverberates all throughout the room, it almost rivals the ridiculous spring sound from when you hit a checkpoint in Hard Drivin'.

Honestly though I think the cover art is actually the best part. The way the one guy looks like he just ran at the other dude's outstretched fist and fell over like a buffoon. The day a UFC fight ends like that will be when I can finally ascend and die happy.

aging millenials have been engaged in a psy-op to put this thing in Top 10 lists for decades now

an improvement on every way to the original, more tight controls, a great OST, much more fun arenas and an iconic cast with amusing characterization .

its style remains representative of its era and its the ideal time capsule for it.

I Miss this Playstation Era.

This is still my favorite wrestling game. I remember creating characters for me and my friends, back in the day, then when I arrived at school I would tell my friends about their characters and fights. It's a very cool game. My favorite was The Undertaker, but most of the time I played with my own character.

this developer has two gimmicks:

- asset flips without any marketing or presentation, which probably don't recoup their very low production costs

- "fuck none of my games sold, have you considered the Soviet Union killed 10 billion people and NOBODY talks about it"

As a Polack, I feel like there needs to be an international movement to prevent more games from coming out of that goddamn country until there's an actual denatizifcation. You shouldn't be allowed to download Unity until you can screw in a lightbulb with less than 10 people.

imagine me picking up a copy of this in tesco at 9 years old with absolutely no frame of reference for anything it's doing. i just assumed america was like this all the time.
