Thanks Shin, you just reminded me that my copy has Pretty Fighters on it instead. I'll go and download it now and report back my impressions. Shit Plasticman is down! Damn I thought it would be longer before this happened but it has. Damn I am not using PE2000, I don't have the patience to wait 5 minutes to get a game. Ah well using SnesArena.com to get it.
Damn that game is bad but no wonder seeing as it is by THQ the toy company that tried to make games and failed miserably. Here is a review I found of the SNES version:
AH Pitfighter! You Bring back such good memories! Your unbeleivably bad graphics, gameplay, and sound have made you one of the worst games ever! I should know, because I used to own it! Basically, Pit Fighter is a fighting game featuring extremely poorly digitized human fighters who battle it out for prize money. In fact this is less of a review than a warning to all people who would like to either purchase it, or play it. Various versions exist for the Genesis, and Super Nintendo and none are even close to arcade perfect. What does that mean? It means that they are even worse.
What makes this game to bad exactly? Well for starters the graphics are horrendous, extremely blurry digitized people with very few frames of animation, along the lines of 3. The controls are unresponsive and the moves are uninteresting. In fact the only notable feature is that some levels have 2 or 3 vs 1 action, which I guess is more of an excercise in repetetive fighting techniques than anything else. You choose from one of three fighters whose differences appear to be very minimal, Buzz, Ty and Kato, and fight your way through a street tournament ladder earning money and fame from your successive victories. The crowd is particularly vicious, grabbing and hurting you in any way possible, in fact perhaps the only ''interactive'' background element.
Don't confuse this ''fighting'' game with the wildly successful Mortal Combat which is perhaps several generations ahead of this game in terms of its graphic, sound, and control capabilities. Battles are mostly relegated to kicking and punching repeatedly, and using the occasional object such as a knife, or barrel, or whatever else might appear, including I beleive a ''P'' for some kind of limited ultimate fighting prowess.... give me a break. Pacman meets Yie R Kung Fu or some such garbage. In any event, please avoid this game at all costs, or if your in for a laugh give it a shot!
Graphics - 1
Laughably poor graphics. Really.
Sound - 1
Unbeleivably repetetive sound effects, completely unmemorable musical score (to the point where I'm having trouble remembering if there was music at all) and its only been a few weeks since I played...
Gameplay - 1
There is none. No thought went into this game.
Overall - 1
Avoid like the plague. If you want to laugh, rent it for the home system, or better yet spend a maximum of 25 cents at the arcade to give it a shot.
