What was your FIRST fighting game?

[Dj Glitch]

Mortal Kombat for Genesis, ABACABB="Get Over Here"

[Daniel Thomas]

"Gimmie your lunch money!"

I wasn't too good at that game when I was a kld. The last time I played it (six months ago), I got a gun pointed at me, but they were too stupid to get anything.

[Zadoc]

Mortal Kombat II, Genesis.

[AMG]

If you count boxing games:

I had Boxing for the Atari 2600, also Mike Tyson's Punch-Out for the
NES.

But for standard "fighting games" the first game I had was Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo for the SNES.

I've been hooked on fighting games ever since.

Street Fighter, but the first one I was halfway decent at was Fatal Fury. (Unless you count Karate Champ as a fighting game, if so, it was Karate Champ).

[Berty]

Budukahn for PC, before it got it, i thought that "budukahn" was an insult

[Cirrus]

Yie Ar Kung Fu at the Salt Fork Lodge when I was very young. It was in the laundry room, along with Xenophobe, which was very scary to me at the time.

I still can't beat Yie Ar to this day. The bosses just get so cheap after a while.

[Psyleid]

Killer Instinct probably.

The first fighting game I ever "owned' was Kung-fu on NES but the first REAL fighting game that I had was Streetfighter2 on SNES THAT WAS THE BEST $75 BUCKS I EVER SPENT \^_^/ EVER really

[DragonMaster Sam]

Street Fighter 2 for the SNES, back in '93. That was the first fighting game that I ever played. My brother rented it from a place called "Pharmhouse".

[THATinkjar]

One of the following, but it would be impossible to pin it down. Either Double Dragon or Final Fight.

[The Great Dane]

I also have to say Karate Champ, but the NES version only. I haven't played the arcade version. The next one would have to be Street Fighter 2 arcade at a local store when I was like in the 4th grade or something

[Eldergod]

I remember it like it was yesterday... I play Mortal Kombat all night at an all night Sock Hop at the local Skating Rinc.

[legov8]

If Vigilante 8 counts then that's my answer.

[ozyr]

Ultra Vortek for the Atari Jaguar. Yes, I know it is not the 'big' game that most folks have, but I was never a big fighting game fan. I have this game because I'm a big Jaguar Fan.

That aside, I actually like Ultra Vortek. It's got some killer moves, good character animation, and one of my friends really like the two-player mode (it is so hard for me to find friends that want to play video gams). So that aside, this was my first, and I still like the darn thing.

[Moon Patrol]

Mortal Kombat 2 it was for me :-) That game definitely takes me back, beating the shit out of my friends and this older kid from my neighborhood, who consequently would beat the shit out of me in real life after i beat him in the game.

[Alucard]

My first was one of the Mortal Kombats, not sure which one. My cousin was into it when we were little kids.

[8bitcrooner]

Karate Champ. I had so much fun I forgot to critique it.

[ZeetherKID77]

SSBM. I played the first SSB and it was cool, then I got a GCN and played SSBM. I WANT to get a Dreamcast and an arcade stick just for MvC2 because I would like to master it without going to the arcade!
