Join TY, KATO and BUZZ in a no holds barred brawl against eight different opponents, all of whom have their own techniques and methods of foul play. Getting Started: ---------------- A game for one or two players. Pitfighter is a battle to the death in an attempt to become the new Pitfighting world champion. You have the choice of being one of three fighters: TY - Kickboxer. His greatest asset is agility, whilst his special moves are the spin kick, the flying kick and the roundhouse. KATO - 3rd Degree Karate Black Belt. His greatest asset is speed, whilst his special moves are the Combo Punch, the Flip Kick and the Backhand. BUZZ - Ex pro Wrestler. His greatest asset is power, whilst his special moves are the body slam, the head butt and the piledriver. You can select your chosen fighter from the title screen in the game. In a two player game you may, if you wish, select the same two fighters. Your task is to defeat each of the seven different fighters who stand between you and the final duel, the Championship Match, against the Ultimate Warrior. Every third match you face is a grudge match, where in two player mode you will fight the second human player, in one player mode you must face a computer controlled clone of yourself. Bonus points are awarded at the end of each round for Knock Outs. A KO is awarded to the player who delivers the final blow to the opponent. Along the way you will find various different object strewn around the floor of the 'pit' which you may pick up and use against your opponent:- you can even try picking up and throwing your opponents. Objects you will find in the 'pit' are: THROWING STARS/CRATES/KEGS and BARRELS - Stand a distance from your opponent and use the "punch" move to throw the weapon, they can be used only once, unless they miss their intended receiver, in which case they will fall to the floor to be used again. STICKS - Use the "punch" move to crack the stick against your opponent. The stick will break after a few hits. On 16-bit versions there are also MOTORBIKES on the later levels which can be hurled at your fellow fighters. Inside some of the barrels you will find power pills. When you see one of these fall out grab it immediately. The lucky owner of the power pill will have, for a limited time only, extra powers which double the power of their blows and halve the power of their opponents blows. At the end of each round you will be awarded bonus points according to how you performed in that round. The bonuses are a FIGHT PURSE, a standard amount awarded for each round, a KO BONUS, for how many KO's you achieved in the round and a BRUTALITY BONUS for how brutal you were in the round.

PIT-FIGHTER The Ultimate Competition ------------------------ SOUVENIR PROGRAMME 1991/92 SEASON ------------------ INTRODUCTION Welcome to the event of the year. Yes, Pitfighting, the World's favourite illegal sport, is back for another season. This time in more locations and more popular than ever before. This season we bring you three brave new challengers. Ty, Buzz and Kato, to replace the three lost last year through multiple injuries. They'll be out there to battle against our usual line up of challengers and champions. These three men have made the switch from their legal sports of Kickboxing, Wrestling and Karate, tempted by the huge cash rewards of Pitfighting. We wish them luck in their first season in the sport. Break a leg you guys! Big news for this season! Back, for his thrid successive season as champion, is the Ultimate Warrior. As usual, he'll be bringing along his henchman Chainman Eddie. Despite rumours of his impending retirement from Pitfighting late last season, the bad man is back to crush all opposition and good luck to him. Proof that Pitfighting is getting bigger and bigger was given last month when Yahoma motorcycles entered into a sponsorship deal with the World Pitfighting Federation, allowing Yahoma 750cc motorcycles to become part of the weaponry allowed in the 'Pit'. The Pitfighters won't be allowed to ride the bikes. No! The bikes can only be used by the fighters as throwing weapons! So watch out for bikes being hurled by the fighters, along with the kegs, crates, barrels, stools, knives and shurikens. Well that's all the news for the start of this season, which look like it'll be the best on record. All that remains for me is to wish this season's fighters the very best of luck and to bid a speedy recovery to all victims of last year's Pitfights who are still in hospital. So to 'Jumping' Pete Jeffries, 'Death-dealing' Dean Lester and 'Grating Groats' John Broggy... get well soon. Have a great season Pit fans, you know the fighters will. Dickie Browne President World Fighting Federation ------------------------------------- YOU CAN'T BUY A BETTER HANDLING BIKE. *** -endorsed by The Ultimate Warrior Y*A*H*O*M*A motorcycles ------------------------------------- MEET the FIGHTERS ----------------- THE EXECUTIONER - Ranked 8th Not what you would call mild mannered. Weighing in at 252 pounds and standing 6'4" in his leather socks, he is not a man to be messed with. However, his size means he's not the quickest fighter in the world. SOUTSIDE JIM - Ranked 7th Modestly calls himself the perfect balance between size, strength and agility, although the Ultimate Warrior proved him wrong last season. 6'2" of pure muscle and 228 pounds he fights to pay his mom's medical bills. ANGEL - Ranked 6th The doll of the Pitfighters and one very brave, strong and athletic woman. 154 pounds and only 5'4", but her devastating speed around the Pit is more than a match for any man. Let her grip you between her thighs and you may never get up again. MAD MILES - Ranked 5th Vietnam Veteran, and, to put it mildly, raving mad. Miles if frequently known to spit at his opponents, but army training certainly taught him how to fight. 5'8" and 172 pounds, Miles is quick, vicious and knows no fear. CC RIDER - Ranked 4th CC rode in on a bike out of nowhere last year. Nothing is known about him, but in his openingseason he more than held his own. 218 pounds and 6'2" he's a traditional biker and in his spare time likes to get involved in bar brawls. HEAVY METAL - Ranked 3rd Proved to be the upset of last year. Broke four bones in "Death-dealing" Dean Lester's body when Lester laughed at his hair and clothing. At 210 pounds and 6'0" it was probably not a wise thing to do. CHAINMAN EDDIE - Ranked 2nd The Ultimate Warrior's henchman always has a busy season. Unbeaten by anyone but his boss, Eddie is no man to fool around. Should be fully recovered this season in a one-on one Pitfight. 267 pounds, stands at 6'7". THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR - Ranked 1st Not known for his sense of humour, the King of Pitfighting has never been beaten. He injured 'Jumping' Pete Jeffries and 'Grating Groats' John Broggy so badly (in one bout) that they're still in hospital today, seven months later. One Pitfighter was so scared when faced with him that he hurled himself off the Pitfighting location. Unfortunately, it was the top floor of a multi-storey car park. 6'8" and 280 pounds, the Ultimate Warrior remains the perfect fighting machine. ------------------------------------------------------------- MOM & POP'S *********** HARDWARE STORES Pop says "Pick handles, beer barrels, crates, hunting knives... we can supply all your pitfighting accessories at rock bottom prices." *JUST RELEASED!* Mom & Pop's HOLIDAY VACATION See the video.
