Holosseum was produced by Sega in 1992. A player versus player or player versus computer fighting game. Players can choose from one of four 'masters' of certain fighting disciplines. The names of the four selectable characters are Dave, Chen, Garrison and Dompayagen. After you done fighting the other three fighters, you'll do extra fights.

This was the first fighting game to attempt a realistic depiction of a mixed-martial arts contest. The four fighting styles represented were well-researched and the fighters used authentic techniques taken from their real-life styles. This means that the fights were unflashy compared to other fighting games of the day: there were no fireballs, magic or outrageously acrobatic moves. The absence of backgrounds meant that the fighters were better drawn and more detailed than any other fighting game at the time.
