Pixel Perfect Gaming writes "In its infancy, the Neo-Geo system gave birth to many franchises; one of them was the Fatal Fury series. The original Fatal Fury introduced the Bogard brothers, Terry and Andy, who enter the King of Fighters tournament to avenge their father's death. Hosted by Geese Howard, the King of Fighters tournament is more of an elaborate ruse to lure the Bogard brothers into a trap. Since Geese was responsible for killing the Bogard brother's father, Jeff Bogard, he plans on finishing the job by killing the brothers if they make it to the end. Enter Fatal Fury Special, a sequel of sorts to both the original Fatal Fury and Fatal Fury 2. Unlike its predecessors, FFS is more robust and the boss characters are now playable. Fan favorites like Duck King, Tung Fue Rue, Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, Lawrence Blood, Geese Howard, and Wolfgang Krauser round out an otherwise solid cast of fighters. This is where it all began, and for those who are wondering, this is where the idea for the King of Fighters tournament came from."
