👓 Lonster's Review:
It’s janky and glorious. Fight Fever is like a love letter to ‘90s fighters — flawed but charming. Not the tightest gameplay, but the effort and style are there.

🌟 Legacy:
While overshadowed by SNK giants, it opened the door for Korean fighting games in arcades and sparked development growth in the region.

✨ Cultural Impact:
A cult favorite in Korea and among Neo Geo collectors. Its presence helped legitimize Korean devs in a Japan-dominated scene.

💭 Lonster's Final Thoughts:
If you love discovering underdog fighters, this one is a funky gem worth trying — even for the weird bosses alone.
