Developed by Atari, the fighter played like the Soul Edge games with a Mortal Kombat atmosphere. If you’re a fighting game fan who owned a Nintendo 64 but not a Playstation, then there’s a 95% chance you’ve played Mace: The Dark Age. MACE: THE DARK AGEġ997 | Atari Games & Midway Games | N64, Arcade Just get some CGI that looks clay-like and we don’t have to worry about all that choppy animation that plagued the old games. ![]() It was going to be updated for the WiiWare a few years ago, but that fell through. A somewhat more polished version called ClayFighter: Sculptor’s Cut came out as a Blockbuster exclusive rental, but that didn’t exactly set the world on fire. The series pretty much died when ClayFighter 63 1/3 got delayed into oblivion and finally came out as a crap game that felt unfinished because it totally was. That’s the most overkill design ever and deserves a trophy. After all, Rancid from the year 2024 is a chainsaw-wielding punk with sunglasses, earrings, an X carved into his forehead, and a green Mohawk mullet with ponytail.

So…fighting tournament among the best of each planet because these aliens have a strange sense of perspective. It takes place in a galaxy where the sun is about to go nova and a race of hyper-competent aliens stop by to say that they can save only one planet. Its heart was in the right place and it had some cool ideas (and especially cool soundtrack), but couldn’t pull off a lasting impression. When an idea like Street Fighter II hits it big, you’re going to get something like Fighting Masters.
