220Pit-Fighter is a 1990 arcade fighting game by Atari Games, notable for its early use of digitized live actors. The Japanese arcade release was published by Konami.
The graphic animation for the player character(s) and opponents were created through a bluescreen process, where the various poses & moves of the characters were acted out by hired actors in front of a video camera. The game's on-screen character animation are replays of the actual footage, not a rotoscoped (redrawn) animation as was common in other games. Pit Fighter was the second fighting game to use digitized sprites, after Home Data's Reikai Dōshi: Chinese Exorcist.
Ports of the game were released for the Super NES, Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Master System in 1991. Ports were also released in 1991 for various computers - the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS PCs, Sinclair and ZX Spectrum.
In February 1993, the Spectrum version was released as part of the Super Fighter compilation with Final Fight and WWF WrestleMania. MegaTech magazine said the graphics were "badly defined with rough animation". Mega placed the Mega Drive version at #27 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time. The Super NES port lacks the interactive audience and weapons, and is missing three characters (Southside Jim, Heavy Metal and Mad Miles).
Handheld versions were released for the Atari Lynx and the Game Boy in 1992. Tiger Electronics also released its own dedicated handheld version of the game.
An emulated version of the arcade game was featured in the 2004's Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, as well as Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition (2006) for Microsoft Windows. However, this version ran at a faster speed than the arcade original. Pit-Fighter was also included in the 2012 compilation Midway Arcade Origins.
A prototype of a Pit-Fighter port for the Atari 7800 exists, however it has crudely drawn graphics, no sound and poor collision detection.
This is an emulated arcade version using M.A.M.E.
Captured and played at 60fps.
