Prime Time Fighter

Overview

Prime Time Fighter (known in Japan and Europe as Top Ranking Stars) is a 2D side-view boxing game developed and released by Taito for arcades (using both Taito F3 System and Taito F3 Package System hardware) on 1993.

It combines traditional side-view boxing games with some gameplay mechanics from fighting games (such as special moves). It includes two vitality meters: a three-step meter for basic KOs and a standard one-step meter for TKOs (which depletes faster from attacks and regenerates on basic KOs).
