Battle Monsters
is a versus fighting game developed by feelplus, Scarab for the Sega Saturn. It was originally published by Naxat Soft in Japan and later published in North America and Europe by Acclaim Entertainment. Similar to Atari Games, Atari's Pit-Fighter, the game makes heavy use of digitized human actors as the characters, plus some blood influenced by Midway Games, Midway's ''Mortal Kombat'' series. The game features 12 playable fighters, and plays out on multi-tiered stages. Reception ''Battle Monsters'' was panned by most critics, who found that the scaling graphics, complex controls, interactive backgrounds, and multi-tiered arenas do not work together well. They also razed the choppy animation and pixelization on the digitized sprites, and likened the game to a second-rate ''Way of the Warrior (video game), Way of the Warrior'' clone. Crispin Boyer of ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' called it "one sorry mess of a fighting game", ''GamePro'' said it "doesn't even deserve coverage", ...

GameFan
''GameFan'' (originally known as ''Diehard GameFan'') was a publication started by Tim Lindquist, Greg Off, George Weising. and Dave Halverson in September 1992 that provided coverage of domestic and import video games. It was notable for its extensive use of game screenshots in page design because of the lack of good screen shots in other U.S. publications at the time. The original magazine ceased publishing in December 2000. In April 2010, Halverson relaunched ''GameFan'' as a hybrid video game/film magazine.

Although it began as an advertising supplement to sell imported video games mostly from Japan, the small text reviews and descriptions soon took on a life all their own, primarily due to the lack of refinement and sense of passion.
