King Of Fighters '99, The

The King of Fighters '99 is an unlicensed fighting game published for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console by X Boy as a follow up to King of Fighters '98.

A sequel, The King of Fighters 2000, was released the next year.

The game consists of 3-on-3 matches as the previous version did. Each character has their own special moves and one super move. New backgrounds exist and a few of the ones used previously have been altered significantly. There are reused and new music tracks along with songs reused from other unlicensed Mega Drive games that use the same sound driver.

The controls are the same as '98. The A button blocks, B & C punch and kick respectively. A super move can be done whenever the MAX icon flashes below your lifebar or if "Maximu" is set on the options menu. Throws are not implimented.

The endings are minimal, with a simple "Congratulation" screen with the character select portraits scrolling beneath it.
