Sango Fighter Special Edition - full game released!

[DeathAdderSF]

Hello, everyone!

 

We at Super Fighter Team are pretty jazzed to reveal our latest passion project to the world: Sango Fighter Special Edition.

 

Official website and Direct download

 

You know Sango Fighter, don'cha? Published in 1993 by Panda Entertainment, it was one of the first fighting games to truly make a big splash on MS-DOS based PCs. It certainly left an impression on me, to the point where I acquired the rights to it in 2009 [!].

 

Now here we are in 2021, and what do we have to show for it? Well... quite a lot, actually.

 

Our new edition of the game features:

 

· All of your favorite generals, + that pesky li'l soldier!
· MS-DOS and Super A'can versions of each general, with some BIG differences between 'em!
· A high energy remix of the soundtrack, with add'l tracks.
· Improved, rebalanced fight system.
· We even brought in a Taiwanese voice actor to serve as the fight announcer!
· Oh! And support for 3 languages: English, Chinese, Japanese. Neat!!

 

So if you've always loved the MS-DOS version of Sango Fighter but it left you wanting more, and / or if you're intrigued by the hobbled Super A'can version but don't want to waste hundreds of dollars to buy it... then I think you'll be fairly pleased with what we've accomplished here.

 

Ah... but wait! I know what some of you purists might be thinking:

 

"Bah! What's with all these newfangled 'features?' The original game is fine just the way it is!!" or "What the hell is a Super A'can?!!"

 

And that's fine, 'cuz we planned ahead for that: In addition to the new & improved "Enhanced" mode, Sango Fighter Special Edition features a "Classic" mode, which ONLY uses content from the MS-DOS version, including 100% hardware accurate recordings of the Ad Lib (YM3812) soundtrack! W0w!

 

Truly there is something for everyone. It's a Christmas miracle. So! Please try out the game. Share it with your friends. And feel welcome to share your feedback with all of us.

 

Thanks! Enjoy!! And best wishes for 2022.

that would be disrespectful seeing as one of the coders stated that he doesn't approve of people taking stuff from the games that he had worked on
 

 

[Meldo]

I don't think you understand what I'm getting at. the reason I'm saying that taking assets (including character code) from people's projects and releasing them outside said projects is disrespectful is because the majority of these projects took months, if not, years to finish.

[Meldo]

I wasn't directing any of this towards you nor did I imply you are planning on editing this game, sorry for being unclear. I wanted to voice my concern about people taking assets from full games that other people had spent years working on.

 

I understand that there's no way of preventing it from happening, but the majority of these issues caused a number of projects to be cancelled/taken offline and even in some cases made people quit MUGEN altogether.

 

I apologise for derailing this thread but people taking stuff from large MUGEN projects and releasing them outside their environments is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Is the story mode supposed to be really hard; 'cause if I don't spam fireballs and dragon punches, it's really hard.

It's definitely supposed to provide a solid challenge, yes. In that it's the more serious gameplay mode, but is shorter because you only face Cao Cao's army, and that it contains the more detailed ending.

We've since released an updated version with a few bug fixes. Same download link as in the first post.

 

Also! Fighter biographies w/complete special & super move lists are available on our website. Each one includes cool new pixel artwork of the fighters, based on the hand-drawn artwork from the original instruction manual. Here's a neat example...
