Taking
a cue from
Mortal Kombat, Atari hoped to score big with this
fighting game. Featuring the same actors from
Mortal Kombat,
Thea
Realm Fighters included digitized fighters is lush locales. The game
was never released, probably for the better, as the character animation
from the video I've seen was very choppy.
Once unique thing I've noticed from these
screenshots are the jagged edges. You'll see them on the lower two
pictures. I don't know if that was a flaw in the game, or the video
capture, but it would have made this game slightly more artistic than
its counterparts.

| This looks to be the title screen. Not very descriptive, huh? |
The

| Now
this picture grabbed me right away. Recognize the person on the
mural? What an ego! |
The
background graphics are beautiful. The aura around Tok is
definitely inspired by Mortal Kombat. |
They were choosing between this a 2-D fighting game that the system was made for or Fight For Life (Atari's crapy answer to Virtua Fighter). I say this only looking at screen shots for all I know the game is probably slow and slugish like Kasaumi Ninja. If this would of made it out in time it could of gave Atari another 1/2 yrs life or so.....You have to remeber at that time Mortal Kombat and its cloans were king
