1. I find it hilarious how "Big Boss" is just some skinny woman who looks like Michael Jackson in a "1920's gangster" outfit and when you fight her, she strips off to reveal a black teddy and wields a riders crop.

2. our local arcade had the original cabinet, not just an interchangeable PCB. We wanted to like this game, but the CPU kicked our asses. We were left standing many times scratches our heads assuming we lacked the right skill. I also saw that particular announcement of Pitfighter II in EGM, I couldn't wait for that game to be released. I wouldn't know it that game would rock or suck, but hey, why do games like We're Back, Batman Returns or Dark Castle get green lit? What could possibly be the demand for Dark Castle?

3. Pit Fighter sucks.

4. Throwing homeless people as projectiles is one of the funniest and most 80's/early 90's things ever, hahaha.

5. Helga/Mr Big was also the main atagonist in the Aerosmith arcade game!

6. Yeah I don't like it it sucks I'd rather play Combat tribes or final fight

7. That BGM tho…

8. Well… you have covered Pit Fighter and Guardians of the Hood… It's time for Ring Rage! It's not made by Atari but looks like the Prowrestling version of Pit Fighter…

9. Funny I’ve never heard of this game but I think I can see why

10. 17:15
    Teens? Ha ha that's a good one. This game got their teens from the casting director of Porky's apparently.

11. I knew of Boys in the Hood, and Tales from the Hood, but never Guardians of the Hood. Ideally, this game ends with you marrying Mrs. Big.

12. I like Pit-Fighter as well, I have an original Pit-Fighter arcade machine in my collection.

13. Great video

14. I also like pit fighter, in fact i love digitised graphics. Would be good if some of these software companies made updated games, would look better and frame rate would be great.
    Good thing about little old lady prostitutes is that they are cheaper and can take out their teeth😂

15. No wonder I didn't get to see this game in my local arcade. I guess it was that bad 🤣

16. No farts and queefs (how is that even spelled?!) in this one. Well, you can't have everything all at once. 🙂

17. I will fight side by side with you to the death defending Pit Fighter… the arcade game that is the console ports sucked. I must have spent a small fortune playing that game at the mall arcade.

18. Atari arcade games always seemed to have a certain sound to their music different to every other game maker as if they were using a sound chip different to every other company

19. 5:02 I believe is a scene from the hit movie: "Wargames" with Matthew Broderick

20. Love the bluescreen montage! Great history of this title I never knew existed! Thanks Patman!

21. Thank you Pacmanqc great work Sir

22. You're the man, Patman. I look forward to all of your videos.

23. Did anyone play Pitfighter and every time you successfully completed a special move, your player would arrogantly pose and get hit by a counter attack? I hated that so much.
