REVIEW
PIT FIGHTING HEROES
The original Pitfighter coin-op allowed three players to light simultaneously
against both the opponents and each Other Due to
the computer's restrictions, that number has had to be reduced
by one, but there are still the orginal trio of pit fighters to choose
from. Here they are, in all their glory
.
With Christmas just around
the corner, it could be a
straight scrap between this
and Final Fight - reviewed
last ish - for the number one
slot in Santa's sack. Domark
took on one mother of
a task when they said they
were converting this Atari
coin-op. and thankfully the
results are pretty good! Tackling the arcade original's
sprite scaling head-on, they've come up with a graphics
system which lust about apes the coin-op and looks
pretty damn good on the Amiga when you see it first time.
You'll find loads of features from the original included in
the game - scrapping away in the middle of the crowd,
these bloodthirsty so-and-sos will try to push you back
in if you try to do a runner! Boasting some fine digitised
graphics and well above average sound, Pitfighter has all
the hallmarks of a great game, but is let down in the
playability stakes by a control method which is a bummer
at best and a bitch at worst. Once you allow for this, and
you will, Pitt ighter becomes a game you'll want to return
to - but I have to say that US Gold's Final Fight just has
the edge in the playability stakes. Try to take a look at
both before you buy and decide which one's right for you.
