Fatal Fury (Neo Geo)

This is the first entry in the Fatal Fury franchise and arguably one of the very first modern character-based fighting games, coming out less than a year after Street Fighter II. You can only select 3 different characters, Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Joe Higashi. Like the first Street Fighter, the controls are weird, you can do quarter circles and charge moves, but the moves don't work if you do them too fast, which feels strange compared to modern fighting games. The 'line' system, though interesting, doesn't work particularly well, and it often turns into a lot of jumping back and forth, ending with a random character being hit by a flying kick. The graphics and sound is great, and fully on par with Street Fighter II.
