Is it actually an arcade game, or just arcade style?

Thats what I would like to know too.

Now, Im just going to say that it might be Golden Axe: The Duel, which is combination of Golden Axe and Street Fighter.

Or, possibly a neo geo-based game.

EDIT: Could it be any of these: http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.c...s/fighters.htm

EDIT2: Hippodrome/Fighting Fantasy perhaps?

Arcade is the platform, coin-operated.

It's none of those. I don't think it's recent enough to be a Neo Geo game.

I wouldn't count jumping as another free dimension, but anyway you could jump as well in this game (probably), but as I said you could in addition also walk not only left and right but also up and down. Like Golden Axe but in an enclosed space. Think about wrestling games, but with gladiators in a mythological pulp instead of wackoes in masks and tights.

Weird, I actually spent a while before posting checking in the great database at klov.com every fighting game from the concerned years, and I found nothing. This can't be very popular.

Oh my f. God, I found it, :thumbs: it's Mutant Fighter (Death Brade in Japanese Engrish). For some reason at klov.com the former is classified as "scrolling fighter" (like Final Fight) and the latter as "unsorted", that's why I didn't find it. That site looks like a wiki, but it looks like a file can't be edited once it's created.

It's actually completely identifiable as a wrestling game, even in the controls and moves (and sadly the music as well), only way cooler with beastly gladiators instead of coke sniffers in tights. :bleh:

Yet again I'm happy for a day, and I'm already using too many smileys.

I was hunting your game last night, and found the Mutant Fighter too.

Nah, never thought there would be one. At that time PC conversions of arcade games were kind of insulting anyway. :P

Sadly the only way I have to beat wrestling games is using lots of nickels... Not sure there's any other one whatsoever by the way.
