Fighting Games

[randomhack]

There have been no good fighting games on the PC lately after perhaps Mk4

If any of you is considering writing/porting a game, please consider making a fighting game rather than yet another shooter. We have more than enough shooters !! Doesnt have to have a ton of characters at the start .. but please make something with good controls and perhaps some mechanism to design characters. If people can design their own characters, lots of people will chip in with theirs and we will have enough collection to choose from.

Pandora's controls should be good for a fighting game.
I absolutely love tekken dark resurrection (PSP) and dbz budokai series (PS2/PSP) and of course MK4

edit : I am not asking you to port tekken or other games mentioned since thats not possible. I am only saying that if you are considering writing a game, pls consider a game in the fighting genre.

Hi,

I found these games/engines on happypenguin.org, all based on Allegro, with available source:

KOF91
Free Fighter Engine
Torneo De Artes Marciales

Bye, Magic Sam

Free Fighter Engine was ported to the GP32 apparently. Didn't know that :/

Following those links, FFE turned into KOF91, and TDAM is based off KOF91, so they're all pretty much the same thing

KOF91 was abandoned in 2007, but the source is still available.

PSX emulation will get you Tekken 1 - 3, MK4 and numerous other 3D and 2D fighting games.

That will be great

The NEO GEO should be the first port of call for any fan of fighting games

 

[Dingo_aus]

Anyone remember "One Must Fall"?

Now that was an outstanding game........

Last Blade 2 while on the crapper? I think I'm getting weak in the knees!

I can't comment on One Must Fall, but I remember One Must Fall 2097.

Incidentally, that was "liberated" and provided for free and legal download by its developers some time ago ( http://liberatedgames.org/game.php?game_id=43 ). If DOSBox is ported to and works well on the Pandora, it might be worth trying out.
