Searching the name of an old fighting game
« on: October 26, 2008, 11:23:07 am »
Can't really remember the name, but for some reason all I can come up with is "Ready 4 die" or something like that. I know this name isn't making any sense, but for some reason that's what I remember.

Anyhow, it's an old fighting game like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter (slightly better graphics than SF) etc.

The only thing I could remember somehow, are the characters, and they are:

*Anubis - Some wolf statue from ancient egypt that's alive and kicking.
*Angel - A chick that throws red knives.
*Pain - Demon-like thingy that looks like the alien from well.. the movie Alien. Only it's pink/purple and it's arms are like two big blades.
*Morgan - Creature that looks like the devil. He also had a necklace with a pentagram on it.
(Now those that I can't remember their names)
*Some dwarf dude that resembles Thor. He had a hammer or something.
*A green slimey creature that lives in the sewers.
*Some robot/mech.
*And the boss, called Death, who looked like a grim reaper.

...Any of this is familiar to anyone?

While your at it. I remember this arcade game from my childhood. I can not recall the name. It was similar to your average fighter but you cut off you opponents limbs to win. Anyone know?

That's easy enough -- it's Time Killers. I suspect the OP is merging a number of games together, because while I can think of many which have elements of the descriptions in the post, I don't believe any have all of them.

Time Killers was what Slashnoob was looking for.

Or was it also what you were looking for?

Some wolf statue from ancient egypt that's alive and kicking. - 3rd from right.
Demon-like thingy that looks like the alien from well.. the movie Alien. Only it's pink/purple and it's arms are like two big blades. - 2nd from right
Some dwarf dude that resembles Thor. He had a hammer or something. - 4th from right



Some robot/mech. - ? Childhood memory isn't as great as you'd think

Quote from: Wikipedia
Death - The final boss of the game and the one responsible for the entire tournament and taking each of the fighters from their periods. Being the grim reaper, he carries a scythe. He cannot be defeated in a 2-out-of-3 match normally, and must be decapitated with a Death Move or a Super Death Move in order to beat the game.

And the boss, called Death, who looked like a grim reaper. - Enough said?

It's the game you're looking for. Deal with it.

Hehe I gotta admit, this is pretty funny. The characters really fit my description, well mostly.
But nah, you'll have to believe me on this one.. it ain't what I was looking for. I recall the names - Anubis, Pain, Morgan (I don't see a devil like creature), Death, Angel.
I know that there was a mech creature, and the blades on Pain's arms were a part of his skin, not actual blades. And the dude that's supposed to be Anubis is a samurai.

Plus the game was much less cartoon-ish.. it had better graphics than that.
Seriously dude, thanks alot for that find tho.
