the beginning of the KOF series, which goes on to be SNK's biggest fighter. This game is pretty interesting in that you are stuck with pre-set teams, and can't pick and choose 3 characters that you want to play as. While I can definitely understand why the future games let you create your own custom teams, I think it's actually pretty cool that you have to play as a set team as it forces you to try out characters you otherwise wouldn't, and that's neat. Difficultywise, this is certainly an SNK fighter, which means balls hard. Solid start to a series that will go on to have a billion more entries.
