Pit Fighter

[saturnfan]

I have a copy of this game CIB, never played it though. When I bought my Genesis from a friend, this game (as well as many others) came with it.

Anyone ever seen Spinal Tap? Taking a cue from that. I can give Pit Fighter a 2 word review:

Shit Fighter


Joking aside, I remember the game as being very ahead of it's time with the graphics. Maybe the older gamers like myself appreciated it for it's novelty 20 years ago. So it sucked....I didn't care because it looked cooler than anything else then.

This review says it all.

haha that review is awesome.

i love when he says there should be a 'pit fighter vs. kasumi ninja' along side all the 'marvel vs capcom' games

the similarity between the game and the awesome Bloodsportwas not lost on my blood-thirsty young mind.

How was Pit-Fighter anything like Bloodsport..?

oh, wait...



And I hear ya for sticking up for crappy games you find nostalgic.. I'm probably the only die-hard Battle Arena Toshinden fan in the world.. Seriously, I loved BAT2 when that game came out!

I recently talked up the GB port of Battle Arena. I loved the PS1 game (or um, demo as it was).

Is there any game that doesn't potentially deserve its own thread on a video gaming website?

Pit Fighter. Pit Fighter does not deserve its own thread.

oh really now?

I see what happened here.

I was just thinking, Pit Fighter would make a great Together Retro game. Think about it: it's got like a million ports. Everybody KNOWS about it, but probably few of us have spent any extended period of timing playing it. And it's got a reputation for being so horribly bad, that it's almost this important part of gaming history. Like it probably should be experienced by retro gamers. Maybe next year.

I'd love to devote a four hour podcast to this game.
