Mobile Suit Gundam (1993) Allumer

'Mobile Suit Gundam: EX Revue'

[ARC] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [1994]

"EX Revue, the second and last of the Gundam arcade  games, is infinitely better than the first Gundam fighter. First of all, it has a larger roster, consisting of most of the pivotal characters from the One Year War. Most of the cast from the first arcade Gundam game appears here, although Sayla has been unceremoniously dropped, and the standard Zaku is now piloted by a faceless soldiers instead of Jene." ~David DeRienzo, @hardcore-gaming-101

Great Swordsman

You might consider Allumer’s 1984 title, Great Swordsman, a proto fighting game since it can count itself amongst the very first entries in the one-on-one fighter genre. As the title suggests, you assume the role of a swordsman over the course of fifteen levels and varying contexts. The first three levels of the game take place in a fencing contest, followed by five in a kendo setting and finally seven more in a gladiatorial arena. Fencing requires five wins to clear a round, whereas kendo requires two. Unsurprisingly, in the arena, a single deadly sword strike will suffice.
