About The Game

Dead or Alive is a 3-D one-on-one fighting arcade video game.

Arguably one of the best fighting games on the Sega Model 2 hardware, Dead or Alive features a solid 3-D fighting engine with smooth character models and impressive character physics (not to mention the attention to detail given to the female characters).

Trivia

The game includes Ryu Hayabusa, from "Ninja Ryukenden".

Pony Canyon released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Dead Or Alive - PCCB-00228) on 21/11/1996.

An other soundtrack album was released by Pony Canyon for the Playstation version of the game (Dead Or Alive for PlayStation - PCCB-00314) on 20/05/1998.
