Before releasing One Must Fall 2097, Diversions Entertainment released One Must Fall as freeware as a sort of public beta test. There is only one fighter, and you can only play against a human opponent. The characters look like low resolution photographs, reminiscent of Mortal Kombat. Fighters can punch, kick, throw fireballs, teleport, and shadow kick. There's not much to do, but it's a decent little fighter, and it's historically interesting for being an early version of One Must Fall 2097. Complete version history:

In this fighting game, instead of picking a fighter you pick both a giant robot and a pilot. Robots fight in a number of different arenas, some of which contain hazards that can damage fighters. After each fight there is a brief sportscast with a summary and an actual screenshot from the fight. A tournament mode lets you start with a minimal robot and win money to upgrade it for future fights. There are 11 robots, 5 arenas and 4 tournaments in this game, with only 3 robots, 1 arena and 1 tournament playable in the shareware version.

DOS ports of arcade games are notoriously bad, but Super Street Fighter II Turbo turned out impressively well. When the game starts, you're greeted with the same ultra-realistic view of Ryu in his fighter's stance as in the arcades. Super Street Fighter II Turbo is enhanced version of the original classic fighting game. The four boss characters became playable in the Championship Edition, and Super Street Fighter II added four new playable characters. The graphics look great and the game recognizes a number of joysticks, including a 6-button joystick designed specifically for the game. The audio is a bit disappointing, but that's because the shareware demo is based on the floppy disk and generates SoundBlaster music, whereas the CD-ROM version of the game uses CD audio tracks to sound perfectly like the arcade game. Only Ryu and Chun Li are playable in the shareware version, and Russia is the only locale.
AvailabilityCapcom no longer sells this game. It can be ordered from Amazon: Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

This fighting game has extremely impressive graphics and sound, for a DOS game. The game rips off a number of other games for "satirical purposes." The characters look like they're made of clay, and one of the songs in the soundtrack rips off the Mortal Kombat mix. The story is that the characters are fighting for the right to propagate, which is rough to say the least. Control one of 10 monsters and rip the other monsters a new one. The only Apogee game to ever be released as a public beta. DownloadsComplete version history:
