Samurai Shodown

 

"Samurai Shodown - a landmark in fighting games, without a trip to the arcade.  All of the special moves that made this game a monster hit are included: poison clouds, teleportation and flaming swords are only a few of the moves available to you as you slash and slice your way to the fiendish Amakusa.  Choose to play against a friend, and Amakusa is now a playable character!  The wait for a serious fighting game is over, let the duel begin!

Almost as rare as SNK's other title Fatal Fury Special, this NeoGeo conversion is incredibly elusive with the price generally £75 or more.  Continental Europe seems to be the best place to hunt down a copy.
 
A one fight demo CD with limited character selection was given away with issue 47 of Sega Pro CD.
