Like i said, these are just my personal faves. Which ones did I miss?
For me, my undisputed #1 fighting game is Sega CD's Eternal Champions: Challenge From the Dark Side. The game is the best possible combination of Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat. A lot of people wrote it off because the original Genesis version was a bit cheesy, a bit second rate. The Sega CD version, though, was an entirely new beast. The combat was outrageously fast and smooth, much more so than its famous counterparts. There were a huge number of special moves, and a vast array of hidden character and stage fatalities. In the era before internet, these were a constant joy to discover. Add to that, an entire lineup of bizarre and fun secret characters, the game kept you playing. Just when you thought you'd exhausted it, you'd go and discover another secret. Maybe a new special move, a new character, a new stage.
