What was your FIRST fighting game?

[michael]

I believe mine was Mortal Kombat 2 for the genesis.
Ahh the good ole days of me and my brother beating the shit out of each other... 8)

[E Nice]

That's a tough one. I suppose Yie Ar Kung Fu.

For a 2 player fighting game My next encounter may have been a Sears Genesis display of Eternal Champions but it was only for maybe one round.

I consider my first real experience Mortal Kombat 1. We were over at home of one of my sisters friends and they had it for their Genesis. We played that for hours.

street fighter 2 in the arcade. me and a friend actually broke the joysticks trying to figure out special moves. the ledge that holds the joystick actually came up and the game froze. we walked away slowly.

I of course wasted a ton of cash on arcade SF2 (not having a clue what I was doing when I played it) but I vaguely recall playing Fatal Fury on a good ol' Neo Geo MVS before that.

"Damn, there's a huge line for Street Fighter 2....hey! Look! There's no line for this fighting game!"

Of course, with the way the original Fatal Fury plays (figure out the enemy's pattern) it's more like a puzzle game... :lol:

Does boxing for the 2600 count?

Otherwise, Karate Champ. Primitave, yes, but fun back in the day. My buddy used to own the arcade cabinet (funny, because he never owned a single console) and we used to have fun with that even though it was outdated even then (1994).

Black Belt on the SMS. Back then I thought it was the best fighting game ever! Now I can't even play it. :box!:

[Sothy]

Arcade game might have been karate champ all I know is it had 2 yoysticks "one to move one for attacks" and there was bonus rounds like pots flying at you and a bull that attacked you.

Also butta fights with greasy naked men in truck stop toilet stalls.

[moycon]

Definately Karate Champ. Ya!!!! .... Full Point.

[buttasuperb]

dont lie sothy, you use those joysticks as dildo's.

i kick those truckers asses, take their money and give them your address, since you like to wash the grime out of truckers chodes with your toungue.

[ROBOTRON]

There was a Japanese inspired fighting game on the commadore 64...legend of the ....somethig or other...can't remember.

Other than that probably ....street fighter.

[Revolt]

mine was streetfighter 2 for the snes

[Anonymous]

Yie Ar Kung Fu was the first for me as well. Back in 1989, when I first moved to Guam, the laundromat on base (Still don't know why there was one, all the houses had washers and dryers) had that, Rastan, and Pooyan. I played Pooyan more because my Kung Fu games were always so short. In fact, that turned me off to fighters until Street Fighter2 came out...

[nesman85]

SF2 turbo - snes
before that i didn't like fighting games.

[nitebycandlelite]

Probably Street Fighter II on the Megadrive. Wasn't that big a fan of it, I always hated the fact that I found it nearly impossible to do a Dragon Punch using a standard pad

I moved on to Streets of Rage 2 then. I LOVE that game.

[hurstman]

Mine was Kung-fu master for the atari 2600.....i used to love watching those guys disapear when i kicked them lol

[TheSmirk]

hmmmmmm... Karate champ or Yie-Ar-Kung Fu in arcade, then SF2 first slow-ass edition, it hurts to play one of those old SF2's now

[ubersaurus]

SF2 World Warrior on the SNES. My dad and I went rounds in that every night for months.

[Raedon]

Karate Champ.. I never had an arcade near me with Yie are Kung Fu

[batmanlivesatmyhouse]

GI Joe for the Apple, I think. You had the Joes Vs. Cobra. The Joes usually won, though. I remember playing my friend, and I was the ninja, Stormshadow, and his guy was in a forklift. My ninja stars didn't do jack. Besides that, Street Fighter II. I used Blanka, and got up to Bison. No joke. No special moves. A lot of biting.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Well...Street fighter III for Famicom

[EnemyZero]

hmm I think mine was MK1 and Eternal Champions on the Genesis

[Starcade]

Street Fighter 2 in the arcade, like many others I was weaned on the SF2 machine.

[Rogmeister]

That would be Activision's "Boxing" for the 2600. Well, boxing is fighting, ain't it? Ain't it?

If you don't want to count that, I guess it would probably be Street Fighter II Turbo for the SNES...

[Dr. Morbis]

Mine would be Yi Ar Kung-Fu for NES. I also remember playing a karate game in the arcade many years ago that had no buttons, just 2 joysticks, that was really cool. Was that the "Karate Champ" that everyone is talking about?
