One day arcade collectors will rue the day they passed on such a deal for a one of a kind game.

Long live the Pit Fighter.

"Atari sold 5,500 arcade units in the U.S. and 1,000 in Ireland.[1] In North America, it was the top-grossing upright arcade cabinet on the RePlay arcade charts in October 1990,[30] and weekly coin drop earnings averaged $413.75 per arcade unit during November to December 1990.[31]

Julian Rignall of Computer and Video Games rated the arcade version 90%, calling it a "thoroughly enjoyable beat 'em up which really packs a punch" and "one of the most enjoyable arcade fighting games in a long time."

Pit-Fighter features 3 playable fighters:



Pit-Fighter has 8 unplayable opponents. Several of the characters share the names of the actors who played them:[4]


  • Executioner (John Aguire[9])
  • Southside Jim (James Thompson[10])
  • Angel (Angela Stellato[11])
  • C.C. Rider (Rich Vargas[12])
  • Mad Miles (Miles McGowan[13])
  • Heavy Metal (Kim Rhodes[14])
  • Chainman Eddie (Eddie Venancio[15])
  • Masked Warrior (Bill McAleenan[16])

Others:


  • Knife Woman (Dianne Bertucci[17])
  • Knife Man (Milt Loper[18])
  • Finale Woman (Tina Scyrater[19])
  • Finale Woman (Maria Lenytzkyj[20])
  • Big Kid In The Crowd (Gabriel Koura[21])
  • Crowd (Rob Rowe[22])

Pit-Fighter is a fighting game developed by Atari Games and released as an arcade video game in 1990.[1][2] It was Atari's first fighting game.

The game uses digitized live actors captured through a bluescreen process, where the various poses and moves were performed by actors[4] in front of a video camera. The game's on-screen character animation is replays of the actual footage, not a rotoscoped (redrawn) animation.

The player must punch and kick their opponents until their energy runs out. If the player presses all three of the buttons at once, the character will perform a "super move". The player begins by choosing one of the three playable characters, who each have different moves, speeds, and powers. Up to three people can play at a time, but there will be extra opponents to fight during any of the game's 15 different matches.

Every third fight is a bonus round known as a "Grudge Match".[5] In a Grudge Match, the player must fight against a CPU controlled clone of the fighter if playing alone, or against the other players in a multiplayer game. Getting knocked down three times eliminates a player from the Grudge Match; the winner is the last one standing. Losing the Grudge Match does not eliminate a player, but the winner gets bonus money.

The final battle, the "Championship Match", is between the player and the mysterious entity that taunts between matches periodically, the Masked Warrior. If more than one person is playing the game before this match, they must fight each other to the death until only one becomes victorious and can fight him.

For some reason, seasoned arcade game collectors shun this game and the many deals that can be found on it. Someday, though, they all will rue the day they passed on such deals.

The crowd can interfere by attacking, spitting, dropping usable weapons, or pushing a stray player back into the fight. The "power pill" power-up makes the player temporarily stronger and take less damage from hits.

A truely classic game ahead of it's time.
