Review: Fighter's
History was probably the most blatant "rip-off" of Street
Fighter 2, in history... And Data East had the
audacity to make a sequel, a year after the release of the original, and even after Capcom tried to sue them for ripping off SF2.
The sequel adds 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 rip-off any way you look at it,
and once again doesn't offer anything
new to the fighting game genre. Although, you could unlock a special
fight against "a bull" if you beat the game without losing a single
round, 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:
If you could get past the fact that Fighters History was a terrible
SF2 knock-off, and somehow enjoyed playing this game... You must have
been forced to, because there were far superior fighting games to play in 1994 besides
this crap...
How about X-men: Children
of the Atom, Samurai
Shodown 2, Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo,
Darkstalkers,
Killer Instinct, & Tekken to name
a few?!? 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 dirt, for instance.
