Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 178: Mortal Kombat Rip-Offs. Mortal Kombat was a defining moment for fighting games. With it came a ton of sequels and even more rip-offs trying to ride on its success. Today the Nerd reviews rip-offs such as Time Killers (arcade and Sega Genesis), Jackie Chan Fists of Fire (arcade), Street Fighter the Movie: the Game (arcade), Tattoo Assassins (arcade), and Shadow: War of Succession (3D0).

Funny thing about the Time Killers Genesis port: the reason it came out so late in the Genesis's life and looked so bad, is because Sega shelved it three years earlier for being "too explicit". The original plan was that the port needed to work on both the Genesis *and* the -Megadrive- Master System, no graphics upgrades. Thus, you have an 8-bit fighting game released exclusively on a 16-bit console near the very end of its life-cycle. Go figure
