Flash Hiders
1993 video game
Flash Hiders (Japanese: フラッシュハイダース) is a fighting video game developed and published in Japan by Right Stuff in 1993 for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM² console.
Flash Hiders was followed by a 1995 sequel titled Battle Tycoon: Flash Hiders SFX, which was also released exclusively in Japan, but developed for the Super Famicom.
Gameplay
In Flash Hiders there are three different play modes: a scenario mode, an "Advance mode", and a versus mode. While the scenario mode limits the player to using protagonist Bang Vipot, the "Advance mode" allows the player to choose their character. While the game requires the Super System Card to run, it is recommended that the Arcade Card Pro/Duo is installed in the PC Engine for the game to run at its intended speed. If the game is played with a two-button controller, gently pressing the punch or kick button results in a weak attack while holding the button down executes a harder attack. If it is played with a six-button controller, four basic attacks from weak punch to hard kick are assigned to the first four buttons. Each fighter has three other gauges besides his or her health; the strength of the attacks, the speed of the player, and the toughness of the defense.
Characters
Bang Bipot: The protagonist of the game. A kickboxer from the Wallace tribe who uses the ability to turn into a tiger in one of his moves.
