              Manufacturer: Sega
              Year: 1993

Descpription: Two humanoid characters fight in the earliest 2-D form
of a 3-D one-on-one fighting arena. Punches, kicks and special moves
propel the player through a total of eight opponents to victory.

Sega's first 3-D, one-on-one fighting game. It used Sega's
System 32 arcade hardware which also empowered Spider-Man,
Arabian Fight and Rad Mobile to do real-time scaling of characters
and to simulate 3-D movement within an essentially 2-D arena.

This system wasconceptually junked in favor of the 3-D
Virtua Fighter several months thereafter.
