Sunday is a lazy day at Hardcasual Central. Chris goes to brunch (like a real New Yorker!) and works on his thesis, and Sam sells people brunch and then sleeps a lot. So Sunday is also the day that we make you do our work for us. Remember when you were a kid and you saw that game on the shelf that you absolutely needed? Say, Super Mario 3 or the Legend of Zelda? Well, how often did that game turn out to be the NES TMNT or Clay Fighter 63 1/3? We remember feeling all too well. So let’s all lo

Pit-Fighter is a 1990 arcade fighting game by Atari Games. It was revolutionary because it was the first fighting game ever to feature digitized characters using real life actors. This bluescreen technique would later be used in games such as Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam.
Characters
Pit-Fighter features 3 playable fighters:
Buzz: A big and strong ex-professional wrestler who sports a mullet.
Ty: An agile kickboxing champion.
Kato: A quick 3rd degree black belt.
Pit-Fighter also has 8 unplayable opponents: (in order of appearance)
Executioner
Southside Jim
C.C. Rider
Angel
Mad Miles
Heavy Metal
Chainman Eddie
Masked Warrior
Gameplay
The player begins Pit-Fighter by choosing one of the three playable characters, who all have different moves, speed, and power. As many as three people can play at a time, but there will be extra opponents to fight during any of this game's 15 different matches.
Every third fight is known as a Grudge Match. In a Grudge Match, the player must fight against a CPU controlled clone of his or her fighter. The first person to get 3 "knockdowns" wins the Grudge Match. This match plays more like a bonus round, in that it doesn't have to be won for the player to continue through the game.
The final battle, the "Championship Match", is between the player and the mysterious entity that taunts between matches every once in a while, the Masked Warrior. If more than one person is playing the game before this match, they must fight each other to the death until only one becomes victorious and can fight him.
The player must jump, punch, and kick their opponent until his/her energy runs out. If the player presses all three of the buttons at a time, the character will perform a "super move".
Sometimes during matches the player will come across foreign objects such as knives, crates, sticks, motorcycles, and bar stools that can be thrown at you or your opponent. The player may also come across a power-up known as the "power pill". If the player or the opponent grab this item, one will become temporarily stronger and take less damage from hits.
Sometimes even the crowd will interfere in the fights. Two characters, known as Knife Man and Knife Woman, will come out of the crowd and stab the player with their daggers. The player can take these nuisances out with one hit. Sometimes there is also a fat bearded man with a stick. If the player knocks him down, the player can take the stick and use it against the current opponent.
The audience will also push any fighter that ends up among them, and stays there more than a few seconds. They will be forced back into the fighting area.

A prototype of a Pit-Fighter game for the Atari 7800 exists.
Unofficial Sequel
In 1992, a fighting game called Guardians of the 'Hood was released by Atari Games. This game featured the same style of digitized characters seen in Pit-Fighter and the player could have 3 other players join simultaneously. The big difference this time around was it played like a scrolling fighter, beat 'em up game and had a completely new cast of characters. Despite its improved digitized graphics and unique gameplay, this game was overlooked in the arcades and never made it to the home consoles.
Trivia
This game contains the same PCB as the game Hydra.
