Gals Fighters
(LAST UPDATE: 5/8/08)

Story: The final year of the millennium, 2000 A.D. A mysterious invitation makes its way to female fighters all over the world. Written therein... 

"2000 A.D. The Q.O.F. Tournament opens! This competition's victor shall receive the totally awesome "Reward of K': one wish that is to be granted." 
Yours Truly, The Enigmatic "X"

P.S. "You can only get one wish, so make it count!"
P.S.S. "All who receive this invitation must attend. Or
else! (No guys allowed!)"

What's Q.O.F.? And what is the true identity of "X", sender of the mysterious invitations? At any rate, the excitement is rising! Here now unrolls the greatest (at least scheduled), bare-all (well, not everything) battle of self-interest this country will see!!!

General: Gals Fighters is a 1 on 1 fighting game for the Neo Geo Pocket, featuring several of SNK's famous female fighters. It didn't do much justice, since the Neo Geo Pocket was already on the decline upon it's release... And it would seem, a girls only fighting game has only so much appeal. Perhaps the biggest factor was that Match of the Millenium was a much better fighter all together, and it came out almost a YEAR before Gals Fighters! Why play Gals Figters when you have MOTM? Exactly.

Closing Comment: An interesting and unique effort from SNK, but a fighting game with only girl characters (and a small roster at that) becomes boring after a while... SNK's girls are great and all, but maybe this game would have been better if SNK was able to throw in some Capcom gals too! ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
