Synopsis

This is a fighting game based on SNK's KoF '96, with 7 different characters. It appears to take inspiration from Street Fighter Zero 2 '97, featuring many of the same issues, such as distorted sprites at the top of the screen during fights, duplicates of each character (like in SFZ2 '97), and many reused sound effects. Both games also use the same VS screen music. However, this game includes a difficulty setting and retains the team mode of the real King of Fighters games. There are only 7 characters available, far fewer than in the original, and the lack of the POW bar makes it more similar to Street Fighter II. The ending is a cutscene showing Goenitz's defeat, in English, with a line taken from the Fatal Fury team-up ending of the original game ("FIGHTER KING OF FIGHTERS 98 I'M BACK TO TRAINING EVERY DAY AND I'M KICKING BUTT").
