Originally slated for a release on the Neo-Geo MVS, The Eye of Typhoon never made it past the prototype stage for SNK’s machine, and wound up only being released for the 3DO and PC in South Korea. It’s a spiritual successor to the first Korean game released on the Neo-Geo, Fight Fever, which is usually considered a terrible fighting game.

The Eye of Typhoon features both single play, where players get to select their opponent, and a 2 on 2 team mode. Stages are large, and zoom in and out, depending on how close the players are. Character designs are interesting, and players are treated to a scene of them standing over their downed opponent when they win. While the 3DO version handles the camera zoom better and AI, the PC version does a much smoother job of handling gameplay…though this is likely because there’s less animation overall.
