Last Battle

Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero is a side-scrollingmartial artsbeat 'em up released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1989 by Sega. It was one of the six games that were available as part of the Genesis launch lineup in the U.S. The Japanese version, titled Hokuto no Ken: Shinseikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu (北斗の拳 新世紀末救世主伝説; lit."Fist of the North Star: The New Legend of the Post-Apocalyptic Messiah"), is based on the manga and anime series Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken in Japanese). Since the international version did not retain the Hokuto no Ken license, the graphics and characters' names were altered. It was the second Hokuto no Ken game released by Sega, following the Mark III original, released internationally as Black Belt "Black Belt (1986 video game)"). Versions for the Commodore 64 and Amiga based upon Last Battle were developed and released by Elite in Europe in 1991. Last Battle is a side-scrolling action game similarly to its predecessor Black Belt.
