No, believe it or not, it's much cheaper looking than that, and I can't seem to find it for the life of me... I was afraid this one might've been too classy. But we will get through this. Together. I promise*.
*This is not actually legally binding. In case the hypothetical sinking ship is left before women and children will have had a chance to do so - strictly hypothetically speaking - repercussion against the author of this thread are not to be expected.

Believing in me turned out to be the right call because I found it. Presenting...TIME SLAUGHTER There's another video that's just a demo of the fatalities and the developer of the game chimed off in the comments with some facts. I guess the game was indeed programmed by two high schoolers with zero experience. They had a cheerleader (presumably one they went to school with) do the voices for the female character, but that didn't pan out so they just sampled audio from pornos. Despite how amateurish and tasteless it is, it sold fairly well.

Edit: Think of this thread as a wine tasting: Take your time with each individual game at offer. Let it sink in, savour it. Breathe, smell, taste, feel everything it has to offer. Become the game. And then - and only then - spit it out, before it will consume you and drag your poor soul to hell.
Sounds like you've been doing some wine tasting of your own, pet. At least I hope it's wine.

My memory is a bit fuzzy... But who keeps count of these things really? We all can consider ourselves lucky that I had at least enough restraint to not make that joke about good climaxes involving lots of bodily fluids, regarding the Mortal Kombat censorship in the SNES thread. Thank god, I didn't sink that low!

Speaking of games that sound like high octane drinks: I'm pretty sure I've encountered Time Slaughter before, spanky . It looks like a bad Time Killers rip off. That sounds impossible, but somehow they did it anyway. I think that's the definition of art.

Despite how amateurish and tasteless it is, it sold fairly well. That's a real blast from the past! I think most people remember Bloodlust for the early Genecyst and Nesticle emulators made by the programming half of the team which were both the best for the platforms for quite a while and had the same ridiculous violence in the UIs i.e the dripping blood menu in Genecyst and the severed hand cursor in Nesticle. Interestingly, they both ended up with jobs in the gaming industry with one going to Ubisoft and the other going to EA. The GameCube version of Fight Night Round 2 even included an otherwise unreleased SNESticle in order to play an officially sanctioned emulation of Super Punch-Out.

Fight for Life for the Atari Jaguar (...) 9:14 for boots so high that anyone would be jealous But she gets electricuted to seemingly no end at 10:53 21:48 for the best walk animation you ever saw Great names like Jenny, Pog and Mr.G. Biggest problems seem to be a lack of polish and presentation quality. (...) Cat Fight seems like something out of my nightmares. The presentation is so unintentionally kitsch though I kind of have to love it. Check it. Thanks again for the time codes, those are certainly highlights!
Regarding Catfight, I wouldn't even dare to make assumptions about the developers' intentions. Though it's hard to imagine that all this came to be as the result of mere happy accidents. Maybe their goal was indeed to make the trashiest & campiest of them all? It's either that or they just licked one poison dart frog too many.

Pray for Death (DOS, 1996) - A Killer Instinct clone that hits that sweet spot between artistic skill and ineptitude. Yes, the characters look like stiffly animated puppets, but man, those water reflections are something. It looks and sounds cheap and cool at the same time, it's glorious!

Buy me Bone Bloodstorm or go to hell! The character is called Blood. Not too edgy at all. Looks like he scored a limbless victory. Anyone order the word salad? Well said...

Popeye 3 - Wrestle Crazy (various, 1992) - Popey in an intergalactic wrestling tournament, facing all kinds of aliens (including the Giger one). Now who and how and why came up with that concept?

Gosh, didn't realize there were so many bloody violent fighters made. I haven't even heard of half these games.
I am reminded of Time Killers, which I mostly forgot until I saw this thread. A game where you can sever your opponents limbs off during round 1, and they'll have it reattached and ready for round 2. Cheesy, violent game, so of its time.

Then of course there's Thrill Kill, the unreleased peak of this excess. It's like every edgy late 90s trope got thrown together.

Here's Kasumi Ninja - I don't have to show more than this really.... Don't really look like ninjas. Kasumi Stereotypes would have worked better maybe? And here's a really shameless MK clone, Thea Realm Fighters - featuring everything bad about it discussed over in the other thread but without the redeeming qualities.

Gosh, didn't realize there were so many bloody violent fighters made. I haven't even heard of half these games. It's just the tip of the iceberg so far. There are so many, many more. Here's Kasumi Ninja - I don't have to show more than this really.... Don't really look like ninjas. Kasumi Stereotypes would have worked better maybe? And here's a really shameless MK clone, Thea Realm Fighters - featuring everything bad about it discussed over in the other thread but without the redeeming qualities. So are you saying just because someone has a red beard and wears a kilt, they can't be Ninja? Doesn't that reveal something about your own prejudices? In my book anyone who's mastered the ancient technique of the Crotchdouken can call themselves whatever they want - like "Doctor Ninja Dutchess of York" for example.
And speaking of prejudices: What's with you picking on poor Jag-devs? I bet, had they been given 2 more weeks of development, Thea Realm Fighters would've gotten all the polish it ever needed.
And, since it seems inevitable, let's bring in one of the few Jaguar fighters left: Ultra Vortek (Jaguar, 1995) - This one doesn't seem to be half bad. Well, for a Mortal Kombat clone that is. There is some effort at display, like the character select with that giant devil-demon holding each contestant in its hands - straight out of a Spawn comic. Also this game has severed heads flying towards the camera, while still screaming. And it let's you turn your enemies into a steaming pile of excrement. Holy shit!

Way of the Warrior (3DO, 1994) - The 3DO could do Ninja & stereotypes just as well. But it also had Rob Zombie music, way before Dragula was in everything. Take that, Atari! Brought to you by Naughty Dog, makers of Math Jam.

At the very least I'm sure we can agree the devs interpretation of the word fireballs was much too literal.
