Garô Densetsu: Shukumei no Tatakai

In the mid-90s there were a lot of games like this on many different console. The most popular of course being the Streetfighter and Mortal Kombat series. But I thought this was the best.

I got it on a sunny Sunday in April 1993 and instantly thought that this game was way cooler. Called Garou Densetsu on the Neo-Geo in Japan the Genesis version was funkier than Streetfighter and hipper than Mortal Kombat. My fave character was the wonderfully named Geese Howard but I didn't mind playing as Joe Higashi or Andy/Terry Bogard either.

I still prefer the Fatal Fury games even now and needless to say I chose Terry Bogard whenever I play Campcom vs SNK in the arcades.
