The King of Fighters (ザ·キング·オブ·ファイターズ, KOF for short) is a classic VS fighting game series first released by SNK from Japan for MVS arcade system board in 1994. KOF was originally launched as a fighting contest organized for the characters from SNK's another two works - Fatal Fury series and Art of Fighting. It has a very high popularity in Asian countries.
In this post, AppNee will keep providing all game works of the whole series of The King of Fighters, from KOF 94 ~ KOF XIV. Of which, KOF 94 ~ KOF 2003 are the best 10 works through perfect integration on MVS arcade system board (published one version every year), and each of them is packed along with working WinKawaks emulator by AppNee. After KOF 2003, the orthodox sequels did not take year as their name tag any more, and their release time is uncertain.
BTW, at the time of this writing, in the whole series of KOF, only The King of Fighters 98 has become a masterpiece that stands the test of time and players. In short, KOF 98 is a perfect FTG work for real VS players seeking pleasure to the limit of fighting games.
