The most popular fighting game of the 1980s plays very differently from what one has come to expect from a fighting game nowadays. Yet a long time ago, Konami beat all these competitors to the punch with Yie Ar Kung-Fu. All Konami ever sent into competition, however, was a handful of quickly forgotten one-offs like Dragoon Might, Deadly Arts, Rakuga Kids or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Capcom’s Street Fighter, SNK’s King of Fighters, Sega’s Virtua Fighter and Namco’s Tekken all used to be important status symbols and moneymaking machines in the 1990s. Among the big traditional arcade game manufacturers in Japan, nearly everyone has their own famous long-running fighting game series.
