Guardians of the 'Hood

Most people probably wretch at the thought of Pit Fighter but I actually liked the game and thought it was good, cheesy fun. Of course, this was the pre-Street Fighter 2 era and fighting games were a rarity, so I would take what I could find.

In 1992, Atari Games released a pseudo-sequel to Pit Fighter called Guardians of the 'Hood. I haven't played this game and I was surprised to find out about it recently.

Anyone played this game?

Thats pretty sickening.

That game looks awful and if it plays anything like Pit Fighter, it is awful...


...but, man, that's gotta be the greatest name for a game ever. I have to wonder how someone seriously thinks of these things.

Digitized graphics hurt brain. Bob no like! Bad thing!! BAD!!!

BOB SMASH!!!

I remember when crap like that was considered impressive. It wwas times like that that made me ashamed to be human.

The horror... the horror...

One of the character models for Pit Fighter came to my elementary school for some speech. He even started off with, "You may recognize me from an arcade game..."

This game truly does look like the lowest point in gaming history. And that is exactly why I want to play it.

Its Chuck Norris vs. Andore (Jr.)!!!



Remember the SF Movie game? This looks like the "Final Fight Movie" game- if a FF movie was ever made...

I played Guardians of the Hood. It does play exactly like Pit Fighter but with Final Fight side scrolling levels and some Mortal Kombat-like special moves. Definitely an improvement over Pit Fighter, but not by much...

Bwahahahaha!

Looks sweet!

I always had a sick enjoyment out of Pit Fighter, and I'd love to try this beast out someday.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Pit Fighter is not bad when you're in the mood for it.

Now regarding GotH... From what I remember, the control was somewhat busted in comparison to Final Fight and Capcom's countless other games of this ilk. It felt a tad sluggish.

This has to be one of the first games to use a Block button (Pit-Fighter has blocking, although it requires 2 buttons- I believe P+K.).

LOL.. yea, that dude in the purple made me think of Andore..

Man... respect the early 90s cheese.

If its called Guardians of the hood, where are all the hood people? For some reason I can't picture a bunch of white guys guarding the hood unless they're wearing a friggin badge.
