Step66: Fighting game

Fighting game

In 1992, I’ve been very impressed by 2 arcade games. The first one was « Street fighter 2 » and the second one was «Mortal Kombat».

The second one has my preference. After seeing the game in arcade hall, I decided to start one game using digitalised arts. That was a good way to create art without having real artist. A friend of mine had a PC with an acquisition card. (Yes a PC!!!).

Martial arts

I was practising martial arts since I was 8 so I knew quite lot of moves. We recorded moves during some hours. I was wearing a classical kimono. We did this in the dojo of the school, in the gym. We then scanned the video to extract pictures and retake them to remove background.

Esiee Fighters

The game was nammed «Esiee Fighters», like the school 🙂. Here are some quick and dirty mockup.

The work was huge and we quickly gave up. The result was not as nice as the game we liked. Doing a fighting game is a real hard pain and artists are obviously required.

About me

Hello. My name is Christophe KOHLER. Norn in 1973, I'm 50 year old (in 2024) and working as video game creator till 2000. When I was young, I've been involved in the Amiga demo scene during 9 years (from 1989 to 1998). I was 16 years old at the time and had really lot of fun using Amiga computers.
I took much pleasure writing these pages. First because it reminded some good memories. And secondly because I wanted to explain how the amiga computer worked and what have been our work on them.
