.Story: A tournament held by Ultratech soon turns to a battle for survival. Fighters from agencies, temples, castles, labs, and outer space converge with different vendettas and a common goal, to be "Champion Of Ultratech."
General: Killer
Instinct introduced the biggest combos ever in a fighting game in 94',
and also featured fatalities and humiliations (quite similar to the likes
of Mortal Kombat). At it's debut it would seem like
it was a straight rip off of Mortal Kombat, but may actually have offered
a better gameplay experience.

The gameplay
at the time was something different from the norm, and was very combo oriented.
Although there was no "dash," all the characters had a decent variety of
moves, and lots of combo possibilities. It equaled pure fun to those who
tried to break the "highest combo record" that the game cabinet recorded.
Killer Instinct also had the best sound and graphics of the fighting genre
in the mid 90s.

Closing Comment:
When the game was first released I was like "that's stupid, they're trying
to be like Mortal Kombat," but after pulling off my first Ultra Combo,
I was hooked... No doubt a memorable and unique fighting game for it's
time. Although it lied about it's "home release in 1995" on the "Ultra
64."...Liars. LoL. ~F.Yagami,
