Basically I want to start off my reviews with the information on the back of the box art when i have it.

This is basically a nice port from the SNES of Killer Instinct. The graffics had to be dulled down to work on the Game Boy, but it is still a nice fighting game especially because it's portable. This game has a nostalgic factor for me, I remember sitting in the car during trips and playing this for hours. Also on the back of the box it shows the cool backround frame it had for Super Game Boy, a peripheral that adapted to the SNES so you can play Game Boy on the television. Not much really to say about this game because if you played Killer Instinct, it is about the same and thats why this is an awesome game. As a kid I remember the violence of this game, it must have been capitalizing on Mortal Kombat's violence and trying to match it. It has fatalities like Mortal Kombat, the most memorable is knocking a fighter off the stage/building and having him hit the ground. All in all this game rocks, its hard to describe but it is just another good fighting game.
