_________________________________________________________________


In 1999, Japanese toy manufacturer Banpresto (known for their
release of Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z related merchandise)
released Armed Fighter; a one-on -one tournament styled
fighting game exclusively in Japan.

In order to attract sales, Armed Fighter was initially sold
at the attractive sales price of 1,800 yen (roughly $20 US)
upon it's release near the end of the original Playstation's
production run.

Despite Armed Fighter's colorful cast, anime styled graphics,
futuristic setting and gameplay features reminiscent of more
popular 3D fighters of the time, Armed Fighter received very
poor critical reception specifically for the game's mediocre
fighting engine and rushed presentation.

Movement felt slow and sluggish. Combos (both air and standard)
were extremely limited and performing a fighter's special
moves became a chore with Armed Fighter's unresponsive
controls.

       ****** SECRETS, TIPS & TRICKS ******

========================================================


===============
Unlock Dusterd:
===============
to unlock the hidden boss character Dusterd, complete
Story mode once with any character.

After the credits have ended, Dusterd will now appear
as a playable character on the fighter selection screen
under the "NO ENTRY" slot.

Unfortunately, after the game has been reset, the
player must play through Story mode once again to
unlock Dusterd.


============================
Rotate the camera mid-fight:
============================
pause the game during the match and press or hold
the START button to rotate the camera.


==================
Back throw glitch:
==================
When attempting to throw an opponent from behind,
a glitch will occur where a fighter will attempt
to grab the opponent only for the throw to be
immediately disabled.

This glitch was most likely the result of a left-
over gameplay mechanic that was never finished.
