Quote:Then Rare released Killer Instinct, the first fighting game that competed with the likes of Street Fighter and unlike Mortal Kombat or 2, had an actual combo system so important to a fighting game. Was there another western company on PC that created content of that caliber in that genre?
One Must Fall: 2097 by Epic Megagames. It predated Killer Instinct by a few months and featured one-on-one giant robot battles. You started out with a really junky robot and fought to get money to upgrade your bot or buy a better one.
Quote:And that's all western development was: First person shooters, shitty simulators
And RPGs, strategy war games, racing games, survival horror games in the RE mold [but predating RE by several years], and adventures games from Lucasarts and Sierra, city/empire/business simulators, vehicular combat, mech games, realtime strategy, flight simulators, action-adventure, first-person horror, and a few more than I can't recall offhand.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
