Fatal Fury / Garou Densetsu (Sega Mega Drive / Genesis)
Full of energy, color and sinew, the first cover for the Fatal Fury matched perfectly with the likes of the Streets of Rage series. Not on sale in an territory until 1993, a fighter with only 3 playable characters would have been a hard sell. Still, it had still some time before SFII Championship Edition / Dash finally arrived later that year.

Your fangs are polished!!
Your fighting spirit is invigorated!!
In each of these fighters...is the heart to transform into a Hungry "Wolf"!!
Fatal Fury / Garou Densetsu (Super Famicom / Mega Drive)
A more brooding and mysterious mood for the Super Famicom artwork. This otherwise decent fighter again msised the mark by going on sale after the revolutionary Street Fighter II made its way to Nintendo's 16-bit system. I imagine at least a few children around the world were disappointed to be gifted this after a sales person convinced their parents to purchase it when copies of SF2 were sold out.

Fatal Fury / Garou Densetsu (Neo Geo)
I would like to translate the Neo Geo packaging for Fatal Fury, but am unable to find pictures/scans that are entirely legible. The text below in particular is too blurry for me to read. If you can find an image of Neo Geo packaging with a clear image of this text, please contact me and I will add a translation!
Fatal Fury 2 (Neo Geo)
Back in the early 90s, Fatal Fury 2 felt like the most legitimate Street Fighter II clone, even though it was eclipsed by the Mortal Kombat series. I remember the arcade I frequented had two SFII cabinets to satiate demand, meanwhile the near by Neo Geo housing FF2 would often go unplayed.

Fatal Fury 2 (Sharp X68000)
The X68000 versions has near identical artwork an packaging text as the Neo Geo version. Something very interesting, posted on the yellow circle on the back, is that this version allows you to play as the four bosses.
