Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 is a fighting game compilation developed by SNK Playmore, released for PlayStation 2 in 2006. The package collects four titles from SNK's original ongoing fighting franchise: Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury 3, and Fatal Fury Special. The series holds historical significance as the origin point for many iconic SNK characters and locations. The first Fatal Fury was notable for introducing a two-plane fighting system, a mechanic that allowed combatants to sidestep into a secondary plane to evade incoming attacks — a distinctive feature that set it apart from contemporaries. The compilation presents these games largely in their original form, offering a look at the early development of the franchise and the foundational mechanics and roster that would go on to define SNK's broader fighting game output across the 1990s.
