Game Introduction

This is a normal 3-D fighting game where players fight one-on-one in up to three matches and the winner moves on to the next opponent. The offensive moves have a rock/paper/scissors-type "counter a move with another move" game play. In this case, Blow exceeds Throw, Throw exceeds Hold and Hold exceeds Blow.

Game Play

When playing a one-player game, two modes are available:

  1. Tournament - Normal
  2. Tag Team - Select two characters. If one gets knocked out, the other one will fight in the second round.

Trivia

The original Dead Or Alive runs on System 2 hardware, which appears to be more powerful than that of Dead Or Alive++. While the backgrounds are 3-D in the original, in this game they are flat 2-D paintings, so the "++" in the title does not really seem to be justified.

Miscellaneous

All the female fighters are quite well endowed. Their cleavage is animated to the point where the operator menus contain a "breast bounce on/off" setting.

For Sale - There is one active VAPS member with an extra Dead Or Alive++ circuit board for sale.

Wanted - No active members have added this machine to their wish list.

This game ranks a 3 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most often seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Rarity and Popularity independently are not necessarily indications of value. [More Information]

Technical

The game consists of motherboard and a daughterboard connected via a 96-pin connector. The PCB looks very much like PSX-based System 11/12 boards. The game only requires three player buttons so no extra wiring is necessary.
