Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Fight to the death against Mondu the Fat and a selection of other completely bizarre creatures and humanoids! Also known as Mondu's Fight Palace, Slaughter Sport, and simply Fatman, this is one of the strangest and more innovative pre-Street Fighter II fighting games sold at retail Skinjob: I bought this as a kid. Got ripped off by a merchant at a games market in the 90s - originally I'd bought Xwing vs Tie Fighter and specifically asked if it ran on DOS since I did not have a Win95 PC, to which he said yes.
When I checked the box later, and it was obvious that it would not, I didn't get my money back. He just said that I could choose another game on the table for the same value. which ended up being this game.

I remember playing this over a cousin's house on his sega genesis when I was a kid. Wasn't going to play it at first but the title interested me. I couldn't get past the first guy because of the horrible controls, so after a few tries I just quit and played Desert Strike instead. The creepy image of Mondu stuck with me, though, and I honestly think the premise of an intergalactic blood sport game is appealing.

I had this game when it came out. I loved it! I thought it was awesome fun and played hours daily until I won it and then played some more. A modern version of it would be lots of fun. The ability to buy power ups and weapons beforehand made it very interesting and fun to play. The different combinations of weapons you can use with the combos made for a lot of different possibilities.

We reviewed the Sega port (Slaughter Sport) ages ago. It was a game with a lot of really unique ideas for the time. but the control. oh dear god no
Very cool to see the PC port, though I'm surprised the Genesis had more player types (though the amount of pallet swapping seems strong as ever. Visuals are much better on the PC. Great Review!

That game was hard. I got to the Fatman maybe 3 or 4 times but I could never beat him. Even when I had gotten cheats to give me more money for weapons, it made no difference. The opponents would usually just get the jump on me, or they could pull off moves effortlessly back to back, while I just got beat up until I died.

Wow. I played this only a few times when it first came out. Ran too slow on my PC, so the controls were even worse. I do remember the music being slightly different though, possibly because I played it through the PC Speaker. -Mondu welcomes you to the fight palace-, is a line that has ALWAYS been stuck in my head though.

I so wanted this game as a kid after seeing it in a magazine but just couldn't find it in 1990 Germany. I know I probably would have been disappointed but now I still kind of want to give it a go to put all that to rest.

Yeah this is an old video and someone else here may have already said it. But I played this a lot as a kid and I loved it, and you absolutely can use a keyboard to play instead of a joystick. It's a lot more enjoyable.

lol. I actually grew up playing this. Loved it at the time. But after SF2 came out, I could never go back. Earning money, buying upgrades and the oddness of the game are all still great things.
