General: Fighter's
History was probably the most blatant "knock-off" of Street
Fighter 2 ever made. For some reason or another, Data East had the
audacity to make a sequel, a year after the release of the original, and
after Capcom tried to sue them for ripping off SF2. The big (sarcasm)
differences here are playable bosses (Clown and Karnov), and two new characters,
Zazie and Yungmie.
.
Besides a
better selection of playable characters, and some new backgrounds, the
game itself really hadn't changed a whole lot in the looks department or
gameplay department either. It's still a SF2 ripoff any way you look at
it; and this game, like it's predecessor, really doesn't offer anything
new to the fighting game genre. If you beat the game without losing a single
round you'll get an extra secret fight against a bull... That's one of
the only interesting features of this game, but who the hell would want
to play this game for that long? Not me!!! Needless to say, I never fought
against the bull. No thanks.

Closing Comment:
There were so many other fighting games to play in 1994 besides this one...
How about X-men: Children
of the Atom, Samurai
Shodown 2, Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo,
Darkstalkers,
Killer Instinct, Tekken!?!?
I'd love to know what fat loser was sitting at the Fighter's History Dynamite
machine instead of playing those other games. Maybe if it was the ONLY
GAME your arcade had... Then I'd understand. Actually, I take that back,
there were still better things you could have been doing. Like sticking
your head in the dirt, for instance... ~F.Yagami,
