The King of Fighters 98, abbreviated as KOF 98,
is a fighting game released by SNK released for 1998 Neo Geo arcade and
home console. It is the fifth game in the King of Fighters series. This
installment was advertised by SNK as a “special edition” of the series,
as it featured most of the characters that appeared in the previous
games (KOF 94-97),
regardless of whether the character was killed off in the series
ongoing story (summarized in the next game of the series with a new
story arc).

Ports of KOF 98 were
released for the Neo -Geo CD and the PlayStation. A Dreamcast version
titled The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 was also released, which
included most of the stages remade in 3D. The game was also remade for
the PlayStation 2 as The King of Fighters 98: Ultimate Match, which
expanded the number of playable characters.
As KOF 98 does not have a plot, the SNK staff took this opportunity to add Rugal, who died in KOF 95,
as well as several alternate versions of several characters in the
game. KOF 98 has often been praised by several publications as the best
game of the KOF series due to its graphics and gameplay. Last match,
however, was criticized for how similar KOF 98.
The gameplay does not differ much from the previous game, KOF 97.
As in KOF 97, the player has to choose between two playing styles :
Advance and Extra, with some slight modifications to the drive mode
(unlike in KOF 97, the character will return to normal if the player
takes a Super Special move in the state of MAX). This time, when a
character loses a round, the losing team is given a handicap in their
favor. In the forward mode, this means the empowerment of the player
energy meter is incremented by one. In additional words, the time it
takes to load strength indicator each peak is shortened.
Last Match includes additional
characters not in the original version of the game, such as Eiji
Kisaragi from KOF 95, along with Kasumi Todoh and team leader (composed
of Geese Howard, Wolfgang Krauser , and Mr. Big ) from KOF 96 and as the
boss characters Goenitz and Orochi, essentially including all
characters in the KOF series prior to KOF ’98 . New moves have been
added to the U.S. Sports to improve their implementation capacity, and
EX versions of certain characters cannot appear in the original version,
including the King with her Art of Fighting 2 moveset, Ryuji Yamazaki
and Blue Mary with their Real Bout Fatal Fury Team added 2: new comers’
moveset. Versions of Orochi Leona and Iori Yagami are also playable, and
both also appear as mid- bosses in arcade mode. New scenes have been
added to the game. Such as China and Hong Kong to show their
appreciation for KOF’s high popularity in such regions, but is also the
only fighting game to provide an accurate representation of Saudi Arabia
in one step, since the country was an important market for the NEO GEO
line in early 1990. A third style of fighting is also further forward
and introduces extra mode, called “Ultimate”. The Ultimate mode is a
customizable style that allows the player to choose between features
forward mode and extra, like what kind of power meter for use. It also
includes a way to “Neo Geo”, which is a direct port of the original
version of the Neo Geo console.
