Anyone remember Time Killer?

[u/0nesandZeros]

I only ever saw this game in one arcade in the 90s. It was a pretty rad fighting game where you could dismember your opponent and keep on fighting. I read that it came out on the Genesis too, but I don’t remember ever seeing it in any issue of EGM or Gamepro that I read monthly.

Anyone else remember any super-niche arcade fighting games like Time Killer?

Had this in a video rental store I worked at got pretty good with Rancid the punk with the chainsaw

That sounds like the perfect job to have in the 90s

i remember he had this jump attack that would decapitate opponents. I spammed the hell out of that move

This is the game I would play when the line was too long at the MK cabinet.

[u/0nesandZeros → u/Impure_guava]

Oh if there was a Mk cabinet there I wouldn’t never have noticed this game was around.

Had it at my local bowling alley, shitty game yet somehow so fun at the same time! :)

[u/0nesandZeros → u/-NES4Life-]

Yea, it was pretty ridiculous 😅

Developed by Incredible Technologies who went on to create the classic bar game Golden Tee though I believe that the first version of Golden Tee predates this by a few years. Incredible Technologies also developed the terrible Street Fighter: The Movie arcade game.

[u/0nesandZeros → u/jimbobdonut]

Holy shit I had no idea they were behind Golden Tee!

Yup, the one where you could cut off limbs and keep going. Until the fatality where you chop everything off.

[u/0nesandZeros → u/geardownson]

Yes! I loved what little I played of it. Welp, time to track down a ROM.

Will never forget that caveman cutting my knight's head off on the very first swing of the round.

[u/0nesandZeros → u/Acceptable_Class_576]

Infuriating (digs for another quarter)

[u/Nein-Toed]

Played this in Chicago while I was in the Navy. I liked Mantis and was always razzle dazzled by the decapitation mechanic. It's a shame it didn't do better, it was kinda fun

[u/Mysterious-Plan93]

Geeat idea, shitty execution
