Fighter's History Dynamite, also known as Karnov's Revenge, is a 1994 fighting game for the Neo Geo, and the followup to Fighter's History.
The Super Famicom game Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! is heavily based on Dynamite, and is believed to have been meant as a port. Dynamite itself would be ported to the Sega Saturn, and Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! was even thrown in as a bonus.
Story[]
(To all the fighters)
-Great Grapple event announcement-
"Sorry for the suddenty of this letter, but as mentioned above a new Great Grapple Tournament will be held, and perhaps this will be the last one. I may have been defeated at the tournament last year, but this time things are different. The humiliation I suffered back then will be returned in double! I have trained further and am looking forward to your participation."
PS:
"This time, a few new fighters that you don't know yet will also be participating. Please look forward to it."
The challenge letter sent by the famous martial artist K, who was once said to be the strongest, reignited the hearts of the participants once again. The history of the fight now begins to move to a new stage.
Gameplay[]
Unlike its predecessor, Dynamite utilizes a four button control scheme instead of six buttons due to running on the Neo Geo hardware. It mostly refines the gameplay from the first game, with movement being much smoother and putting more focus on combos. Much like in the first game, each character has a piece of clothing which works as a weak spot, causing the character to go dizzy if it is hit three times during a round. All returning characters have new moves, and Clown and Karnov are now selectable characters while the game also introduces two newcomers, Zazie and Yungmie. In addition to those, the game also features a secret fight againt an Ox, in a reference to Data East's early fighter Karate Champ.
