Pit-Fighter Longplay (Arcade) [4K]

Developed and published by Atari Games in 1990

One of my guilty pleasures, Pit-Fighter was never a great game, but there's something so delightfully low rent about it that it never stopped being fun. This game used digitised sprites several years before Mortal Kombat, and the clarity/resolution of the actors is pretty good for the time.

I recorded play-throughs using each of the three available characters, and it was interesting to note that the final score earned was practically identical.

Also, I have the suspicion the game starts depleting health after you're no longer on max energy, even when you take no damage - watch the final fight between Buzz and the Warrior.

00:00 Buzz playthrough
17:58 Ty playthrough
33:33 Kato playthrough
