|
Q. What is Fight For Life?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A. Quite simply, Fight For Life (FFL) is Atari's answer to Sega's arcade
|
||
|
|
hit Virtua Fighter (VF). But Atari has one-up'ed Sega. FFL is a 3D polygon
|
||
|
|
based fighting game, but instead of using flat shaded polygons like VF, it
|
||
|
|
will use texture mapping on those polygons to enhance the look of the
|
||
|
|
characters and surroundings. FFL also has fast moving, variable "camera"
|
||
|
|
views to better capture the fast paced action. It will be on a 4 MegaByte
|
||
|
|
cartridge.

|
Q. Who is Developing Fight For Life?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A. FFL is Atari's project, but they have managed to hire Francois Bertrand
|
||
|
|
(from Sega's AM2 programming team that developed Virtua Fighter and Virtua
|
||
|
|
Racing) to code it for them. Atari then turned to an outside developer
|
||
|
|
based in a suburb of Chicago to do the artwork for this project.

||

|
Q. What is the plot of Fight for Life?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A. Missing in action, killed in a bar fight or by a crazy psychiatrist.
|
||
|
|
Life after life can be a nightmare, especially if your real life has been a
|
||
|
|
mess. In Hell, there is just one way back... the annual Hell Fighting
|
||
|
|
Tournament. If you win, you have a chance to fight against the son of the
|
||
|
|
Devil himself. It's not really a pleasure, but the prize for victory here
|
||
|
|
is a life, a new life. Welcome to Fight for Life...
