Pit-fighter....Awful...

Pit Fighter was amazing when it came out in the arcade. Just thinking about it brings me vividly back to being in the dark Gold Mine arcade. The sights, the sounds...it's all so clear. Now granted, I didn't play pit fighter a whole lot. The older kids were always playing, and I loved just watching. The grudge matches were always hilarious when you had a crowd of people watching and interacting.

Thanks for the great flashback. Sorry you missed out on the true arcade scene.

Gold Mine arcade at the local Mall is where I played it too when it came out .
 
Never played it.

When the fighting games took over the arcades I was long gone from the scene.

I've owned a few fighting games - SF II CE, Mortal Combat, SNK vs Capcom II, Marvel vs. Capcom, Marvel vs. Streetfighter.

I'd say that Marvel Vs. Capcom or Marvel Vs. Capcom II is probably the best of the genre.
 
I still like Primal Rage - more than Pit-Fighter. The PF music and sound effects were hilarious to me. Think I have PF for my Sega Genesis. :)
 
How can you not love a game that piles up cash at your feet while they raise you on a fork-lift.

That I admit is awesome.

Also I like primal rage which someone said is almost as bad. Just personal preference I guess. Going over it again pit-fighter isn't TERRIBLE, but its not something I'd want to play.

It is all a matter of perspective. The first fighter I remember in the arcades was Street Fighter (the first one, not II). It was a good game but the controls seemed sloppy and the graphics/sound weren't very good compared to the side-scrool beat-em ups of the time. The next fighter I saw was Pit-Fighter. Much better graphics but the same difficult controls. Finally, Street Fighter II was available to play locally and I never had to worry about non-responsive game play again. Mortal Kombat never truly piqued my interest...

From this perspective Pit-Fighter had its place but just doesn't hold up well over time.
 
Primal Rage was bad... but not as bad as Time Killers. Now that game was truly awful.
 
I find it incredible that anyone liked it even when it was new. It is the worst game I remember playing in the arcade.


Really? I remember hating Return of the Jedi, Qix, Ataxx, and a few others to the point that I wouldn't even consider playing them. Pit-Fighter wasn't a very good game to play alone but it did have the head to head feature and that made it much more fun.
 
I'm just glad that we got 33 posts without someone slagging on Street Fighter: The Movie...

People always hate on that game for no good reason.


And for all of you:
Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves is the best fighting game ever.

I think Pit Fighter is an awful game as well. I have 2 working Pit Fighter boards i will sell for 20$ shipped each. Good deal because they are pretty big boards. I imagine I will have these until they hit the dumpster. You cant give them away.

Yeah the boards are pretty big, would be pretty much giving away.
 
LOL street fighter the movie was HORRIBLE. my god.. I don't know whats worse, that or pit fighter. I grew up on SF and MK and my biggest hobby right now is 2-d fighters. The original street fighter as well, the move list was the same as today but for some reason they were impossible to pull off.
