3	''Kakuge Yaro: Fighting Game Creator'' is a Platform/PlayStation-only FightingGame made in TheNineties by Increment P Corporation [[NoExportForYou released only in Japan]]. The game was composed by 7 characters: a [[{{Shotoclone}} karateka]], an AnimeChineseGirl, an {{Eagleland}} American, two HighSchool girls, a construction worker and a robot. Some of the plus of this game are the beautifully drawn sprites and portraits, the colorful stages (with an [[Anime/DiGiCharat unexpected cameo]]) and the possibility of [[CharacterCustomization create your own version of the character]], selecting the moves you want to make your character unique, predating 3D fighting games by many years. Sadly, the game has a poor gameplay, few characters to defeat and in general had nothing to do against giants as Creator/{{Capcom}} and Creator/{{SNK}} game franchises as well [[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo various]] [[VideoGame/Asuka120Percent other]] [[VideoGame/EvilZone independent]] [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear fighting]] [[VideoGame/PowerInstinct games]] for [=PlayStation=] that overpassed ''Kakuge Yaro'' so far.

5	Although the game went into obscurity at the point no one knew about it even on Japan, ''Kakuge Yaro'' gained a revitalized new fame in the TurnOfTheMillennium thanks to VideoGame/{{MUGEN}}, whose creators (especially from ''Mugen Guild'' and ''[=MRev=]'' forum communities) took the sprites and remade characters to their own way to create a new standard for the characters of that time, becoming [[FollowTheLeader a fad in the 2000s]]. Also the stages, lifebars and screenpack had been recreated for this game engine, and even closed fullgames had been made, like ''Project Lensman''.

7	Even though the game itself is hardly to find by standard ways, UsefulNotes/{{Emulation}} is [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes another way to get it]], even having an English patch that improves the experience of the game for non-Japanese players. Or, you can download characters, stages and screenpack for VideoGame/{{MUGEN}} and [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute recreate it there]].
