About the game

King of Fighters R-1 is a video game released in 1998 for Neo Geo Pocket. VG90 lists it as a reference record so the title stays discoverable alongside the thousands of other releases that defined the leap into 3D.

By 1998 the landscape around releases like this was set — polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. Reading King of Fighters R-1 against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the leap into 3D produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes
