During the 16-bit age, the original era of video games were platformers, side scrollers, beat-em ups, shoot em ups, and the occasional great puzzle game. Then, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2 were met with extraordinary success, and the next thing you know fighting games are all the rage. Of that, we saw good and bad. Some of the good games included are the Mortal Kombat games, The Street Fighter 2 games, and a game like Primal Rage. Some of the bad games were titles like the legendary terrible Shaq Fu, Ballz 3-D, and Double Dragon 5. One game came out that was very different, and actually probably the best fighting game not named Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter 2. That game is Killer Instinct.
