[edit] One Must Fall

The original One Must Fall is a demo created in the wake of the success of Street Fighter II. It features two human fighters resembling Ryu and Ken who fight in a single arena. Players have the option of kicking or punching their opponent. The game was never commercially released, as it was considered too repetitive and slow (although on modern computers, the game will typically run many times the original speed, [this can be offset by adjusting the Speed option in one of the options menus]). This game was featured on Game Empire, a collection of shareware and freeware games.

Released in 1994 by Epic MegaGames, One Must Fall: 2097 replaced the human fighters with robots. In-game competitors were connected to a machine which allowed them direct control as well as sensation of their robot counterparts. Eleven robots and ten customizable pilots were available for play, along with five arenas and four tournaments. The pilots vary in strength, speed and endurance, thus the many robot/pilot combinations allow for larger replay value.
