Fight Fever

Fight Fever (Korean: 왕중왕, Wang Jung Wang, lit. "King of Kings"; Japanese: ファイトフィーバー, Faito Fībā) is a 2D fighting game that was made available for the Neo-Geo MVS System on June 28, 1994. It is the first Korean Neo-Geo game and is the first game developed and published by Viccom (now known as Unotechnology).

A spiritual successor known as The Eye of Typhoon was created for the Neo-Geo, but later became canceled and switched over to the 3DO and MS-DOS operated PCs.

Gameplay
The game plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games. There are 8 regular characters to select from and two boss characters (the first boss character is only playable in two player mode). The object of the game is to win two matches out of three. Each character has a set of moves in addition to two basic punches and kicks. Players also have the ability to taunt others, but unlike games such as Art of Fighting, this has no effect and would actually leave the player open to attacks.

In one player mode, after selecting a character, the player must also select an opponent. The opponent order cycles clockwise according to the character select screen. After the first eight are defeated, the player must defeat Master Taekuk, the first boss of the game. After defeating him, the player is challenged by Karate Kenji, the second and final boss.

There are two bonus games that reward the player with points depending on how successful the player is. The first game is a brick-breaking game that requires rapid pressing of the A button. The second bonus game requires the player to break boards held up by trainers. Both bonus games were also in the 1987 game, Street Fighter.
