WedSNESday: Let's Play ClayFighter
1This week on WedSNESday, we slap a couple of handfuls of colorful clay together to celebrate one of the weirdest entries in the Fighting Game Renaissance of the early '90s, the clay-based, poorly-controlling fighter that spawned a handful of sequels and managed to make children have nightmares about snowmen as well as clowns, the original ClayFighter.
ClayFighter is a 1-on-1 fighting game developed by Visual Concepts and published by Interplay in 1993 for the SNES, and 1994 for the SEGA Genesis. It was a response to the wildly popular fighting games of the early '90s like Mortal Kombat, but was marketed as a less violent alternative that would give kids the action they wanted in fighting games without all the blood 'n guts. With a roster of 8 oddball characters, the game was created using photographed and digitized clay models - also a distinctly late '80s/early '90s trope.
