About This Game
Fight Fever was Viccom's only fighting game release, attempting to capitalize on the popularity of SNK's fighting franchises.
The game gained notoriety for its stereotypical character designs, including an American cowboy, a Russian wrestler, and a Korean taekwondo master.
Despite mixed reviews for its gameplay mechanics, Fight Fever has become a cult classic among Neo Geo collectors for its quirky charm.
The Korean version censored blood effects and renamed several characters to be less offensive.
