The original Tecmo arcade ran on Model 2 hardware, licensed from Sega. Similarly, and in a previously unseen move, Sega gave the Virtua Fighter 2 Saturn code to Tecmo to use for the home conversion of Dead Or Alive. A very wise move, and lucky for Tecmo, because the game is pretty much as good looking as any other 32-Bit fighting game out there. Running at the same super high 704x480 resolution, the graphics are incredibly sharp, and again like VF2 it's all 60FPS action! Like the Saturn version of VF2, this game lacks the 3D backgrounds from it's arcade parent, but they still look great, actually better and more fitting with the foreground than the ones in the VF2 conversion. The gameplay is great, some say it's actually better than the awesome sequel, and there's a ton of hidden costumes, most of them skimpy and sexy! There's also a great Sony PS1 conversion of the game, which was released almost a year later. It featured even more costumes and extras but graphically, while excellent, was definitely inferior to the Saturn version.

Overall good condition but see pictures for full details: ACTUAL ITEM PICTURED. Note that we only ever crop our photos. We never enhance/retouch them!
