Fatal Fury, released in 1991 by SNK, is a groundbreaking head-to-head fighting game for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. It became the first game to depict the fictional 'King of Fighters' tournament and introduced the world to beloved characters like Terry and Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, and the villainous Geese Howard. The game features a unique two-lane battle system, a wide array of special techniques, and even arm wrestling bonus rounds. Developed by Takashi Nishiyama, Fatal Fury retains a special place in gaming history as both a spiritual successor to Street Fighter and an innovator in its own right.
