About This Retro Game
Set in South Town, the game follows Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia as they search for Ryo's kidnapped sister Yuri.
Art of Fighting was notable for its large character sprites and the introduction of the 'spirit gauge' system that limited special move usage.
The game's dramatic zooming camera and character damage visuals (bruises and cuts appearing during fights) were groundbreaking for the time.
Art of Fighting became the second title in SNK's Neo Geo fighting game trilogy, alongside Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters.
