This is SNK's introduction into the fighting game scene. It came out around the
same time as Street Fighter 2: World Warrior (aka the first edition of Street
Fighter 2) and it introduces us to the Bogard brothers and Joe Higashi. It also
introduces us to what we gamers label as the SNK Boss Syndrome in the form of
Geese Howard. From there the syndrome spread to other SNK final bosses or many
other final boss that appeared on Neo Geo.

STORY
o--------------------o
10 years ago, a well-trained fighter named Jeffry Bogard was murdered in cold
blood by his rival, Geese Howard. Now his adopted sons Terry and Andy Bogard
are out for justice and they brought along their friend, Joe Higashi (who wants
to prove himself to be the world's best fighter) as they participate in the 1st
ever King of Fighters.

These are the opponents you will fight in the game. The first four opponents
listed can be chosen first by you the player and then the next opponent within
the four will follow the cycle I have listed. After those four are defeated,
you will face off against Hwa Jai then Raiden. The last two opponents are Billy
Kane and Geese Howard being the last boss. In the Genesis version, Billy Kane
and Hwa Jai were left out of the game. To make up for it, out of the three of
the main characters you didn't pick, those two will show up at random times as
a miniboss. They are playabe on SNES and Genesis.
Duck King
Tung Fu Rue
Michael Max
Richard Meyer
Hwa Jai
Raiden
Billy Kane
Geese Howard
Notes about opponents: They can jump between the background and foreground but
you can't under normal circumstances. You can only jump between planes whenever
they do with an attack.
Duck King's favorite move is the Head Spin. It will automatically land him into
the other plane. He will occasionally use a sliding kick.
Tung Fu Rue may look like a feeble old man but if you do enough damage to him,
he will turn into a gigantic buff guy and will either do a spin kick that sends
fireballs in both directions or he way spin across the screen with his arms out
while floating in air. More damage returns him to normal.
Michael Max moves fast and has a mean Tornado Uppercut that his similar to the
Hurricane Uppercut that Joe uses. His punches are very damaging.
Richard Meyer fights using the Capoeira style that Tekken fans may recognize as
the style used by Eddie Gordo, Tiger, and Christy. His moves consists of hoping
up to grab the bars on the ceiling and kicking. He can also do a spinning kick
across the screen or do a handstand and fight from that stance.
Hwa Jai starts off with limited moves but when he loses at least one-third of
his life, he'll grab a special sake from the background and drink it. He will
turn red and go crazy. He moves faster and use a deadly lunging knee similar to
Joe's Tiger Kick.
Raiden is one bad mofo. He will either use a sand attack or dive forward with a
splash. You can provoke him into using either of these moves by purposely using
a whiffing attack from afar then punishing him afterwards. Careful when getting
too close, he may grab you by either lifting you by the face and crushing it or
use a rolling powerbomb for major damage.
Billy Kane is Geese's right-hand man. He fights withs with pole that sometimes
can knock you into the crowd. His other moves consists of doing a pole vault
kick and ocassionally tossing his stick at you. When he loses his stick, he'll
cower in fear and suffer no damage until he gets his stick back from his crowd.
He can also lose his stick when thrown.
Geese Howard is a dirty fighter. He uses a more advanced version of Terry's
Power Wave that moves fast across the whole screen. He uses a spin kick on some
occassions and his most dangerous move involves countering your physical attack
when you try to attack him aggressively.
