Alright, time to whoop some ass! Here in Tengen's Pit Fighter you take on all opponents, one on one all the way up to three on one! Using various characters, you bash your way to the top, to defeat the big man himself, to declare yourself the Ultimate Fighter! Yeah, you can feel the testosterone can't you!?

What's it all about?
It's a one on one beat'em up that will pit you against another fighter in an enclosed arena of sorts. Using the typical Final Fight "go-anywhere-hit-anything" approach, you can make your way around the arena, jumping on cars, picking up barrels, stools and various other things(you can even kick opponents into the crowd, which will then proceed to attack them) that can be used as weapons in an attempt to take out your opponent. All three of the characters have a basic punch and kick set of combos they can break out, with a "super" move of sorts that can also be used to deal out even more damage.
Graphics - Nice and muddy. Though only having a max of 64 colors on screen makes representing digitized characters difficult, Tengen did a decent job. On the other hand, those backgrounds could have used some work...
Sound - Fucking great. Man, you could have a great time just playing through the entire set in the sound test, but they are even funnier when played out during the game. The crowd's various samples crack me up.
Control - Decent; not great, but not too bad at all. For the most part you can do ok, but the wacky physics in the game will sometimes throw you off a bit.
AI - Big, sweaty sprites constantly attack you, mindlessly most times. Occasionally they are smart enough to try to hit you with a box or barrel, but it barely ever works out for them.
Replay value - Pretty high. It's an arcade beat'em up, and a pretty good one at that. Making your way through the various stages, seeing the new things you can use to bash your opponent's skull with are pretty entertaining. You'll love the motorcyles...trust me.
Tips for better gaming experiences:
When you see the Power Pill, do what it takes to get your ass over there and eat it! If the enemy gets it, run, run like hell until it wears off. Also, make use of everything they give you to chuck at the enemies, most things will take a full bar off their energy when used.

Game Genie:
Though it's pretty cheesy, the code for unlimited lives can make for a lot of fun. Now, you and a buddy can work over opponents all the way to the end, to Mr. Date Rape himself.

Infinite Lives: AVZA-2A2R 

My rating: 85(out of 100) - A nice cross between the side scrolling and one on one beat'em ups out there. Decent graphics, hilarious sound and some hardcore ass whipping make this a great, little diversion from getting your ass whipped in real life.
GamePro gave it: 5.0(graphics), 5.0(sound), 5.0(gameplay), 5.0(funfactor), 5.0(challenge)(out of 5)

He's a Cat Biter, not a Pit Fighter!
Cat's meow: Bad control, seriously terrible graphics. I can't tell what I'm fighting most of the time. The only redeeming value of this game is its humor value.

Back, savage!
The sounds effects, especially when Buzz slams the two stooge's heads together, are fucking hilarious.
As if all the half naked men running around weren't enough...
"Date Rape!" I swear that's what it sounds like he's really saying...and that's just scary...
Interesting Tidbits:
Oddly enough, when this game was ported to the SNES, they dropped it down to one player! What a bunch of motherfuckers, huh?
