About This Game
Killer Instinct set new standards for fighting games with its 60fps animations, 3D-rendered backgrounds, and the first true 'combo system' where players could chain together dozens of hits in creative ways.
The game's 'Ultra Combo' finishers and dynamic announcer (voiced by Chris Sutherland) created an electrifying spectator experience that made it an arcade staple.
Notable for its pre-rendered CGI character select screen - a technical marvel in 1994 that later influenced Mortal Kombat's approach to 3D graphics.
