Somebody has to say it, for the sake of tradition.

Rise of the Robots.

That just made me burst out laughing at my desk and get 'looks' from my co-workers.

Nice work!

I cant rememvber the name of it but there was a superb 2D giant 1 on 1 robot fighting game on the ST.

You could add / remove various parts of the bobots and add such things as lasers and giant hammer arms.

The control scheme was great with fire button + left for left arm action, fire + right right arm etc, holding down fire and waggling left and right in rythm with 2 hammer arms attached was tops.

I think it might have been infrogammes ?

Edit:
Got it : Metal Masters

I just remembered Kung-Food too , brilliant.

There was another ST beat em up that I cant remember the name of.

It was a final fight type of scrolling beat em up but there was no scrolling , or at least you moved from area to area.

all I can really remember was that the colours were very muted greys and it had a distinctly European (if not french) setting, in fact I think my copy was in French..

this is all very cloudy so if anyone can jog my memory please do.

the Amiga before Dynamite went Tango Uniform, IM sure that would have
figured here right now

IK+ is a must for both systems but if you have an amiga then I would strongly suggest buying/downloading a fighter called Shadow Fighter. It really put's all other traditonal fighting games on that system to shame, I have the amiga cd32 version and it rocks. The character design is espeicaly good because it avoids all the fighting game traits while having a very manga theme to it, some of the charatcers this is espeicaly evident.

Anyone remember the Karate Kid game on ST/Amiga?.
Ok so its not as good as IK+ but you could catch a fly with chopsticks as a bonus round.

That'd be Karate Kid II. Excellent animation, but the characters were very small.

Thats the one, yeah it was KK2. It had some nice backdrops as well.
