Name: Ka-Ge-Ki - Fists of Steel
Author/Vendor: Sage's Creation/Kaneko
Released: 1991
Type: Fighting
Language: English
Premise: An unusual pseudo-3D fighter that eschews the traditional SF2-style platform approach in favor of superdeformed characters matched together in ring-style bouts.
Impressions: Looks rather comical, but is well done. Takes some getting used to, though, so you might want to save it for those days when you're tired of standard fighting fare.
Variations: Surely a Japanese original exists for this game, although I have yet to see it. I base this on the use of columnar texts in the title screen, which run top-to-bottom from right to left, just like traditional Japanese text would.
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
