This game is basically my entire childhood. What an all time classic, very polished game. Jesus Christ, having this officialy on PC, I don't know, I would go nuts.

This is the game that marked my childhood the most, I played it a lot on the PlayStation 2, having it officially on the PC would be a dream, I would love to be able to play it without the need for emulation.

One of my best friends introduced me to DBZ: BT 2 first. I was immediately hooked. Being a fan of the anime, having a fighting game that properly emulates fighting in the series was a dream come true! Played the heck out of 2... right until I learned that there's 3. And the rest is history. Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is probably my single most played PS2 game ever. It is a phenomenal fighter, and one that should be preserved for future generations to experience!

Fight Fever
Fight FeverThe game plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games, especially both SNK's Fatal Fury 2 and Art of Fighting. In fact, it shapes itself after Fatal Fury 2 while it uses Art of Fighting's game engine. There are 8 characters to select from and two boss characters (the first boss character is only playable in two player mode). The object of the game is to win two matches out of three. Each character has a set of moves in addition to two basic punches and kicks. Each character also has a super move called a "Danger Move", which are similar to the Desperation Moves from Fatal Fury 2. Players also have the ability to taunt others, but unlike games such as Art of Fighting, this has no effect and would actually leave the player open to attacks. There are two bonus games that reward the player with points dependent on how successful the player is. The first game is a brick-breaking game that requires rapid pressing of the A button. The second bonus game requires the player to break boards held up by trainers popping out of the left and right sides. Both bonus games were also in Capcom's 1987 arcade game, Street Fighter, as well as one of them also in Midway's 1992 arcade game, Mortal Kombat and the ones in Art of Fighting.

Mortal Kombat II
Mortal Kombat IIMortal Kombat II is an unlicensed port of Mortal Kombat made by Hummer Team. Both Kart Fighter and AV Bishoujo Senshi Girl Fighting, which were released later, use an earlier version of this game's engine. Despite the title, this game is actually a port of the first Mortal Kombat. This was likely done as a form of selling the product as a sequel, a common trait with unlicensed NES games. While the game is mostly faithful to the original game graphics-wise, some features were cut from the game. These include fatalities and blood which are found only in Mortal Kombat II Special. Also Goro is the same size as the other characters, probably due to the NES's limitations.
