Breakers and Breakers Revenge are competitive fighting games that were released in 1996 and 1998 respectively for the Neo Geo console.

Breakers Collection

QuByte under licence from Visco Games has compiled these titles into Breakers Collection releasing onto the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the PC. Growing up, I never had a Neo Geo console or knew anyone who did own one. They were quite expensive, so a lot of people missed out on all the cool titles that were released on it. I am excited to try out other ‘90s fighting games that aren’t Street Fighter.

The main menu offers Game Selection— Breakers or Breakers Revenge, Online Mode, Options, and Extras (Gallery, Sound Test, Interview). If you want to play online, Breakers Revenge is the only title that offers this, which is fine since it offers more characters and stages. Once you select the game you want to play, you choose what kind of fighting mode you want to participate in.

Breakers offers three different modes to select from:

Arcade—fight against every character, and once you win two out of three rounds you move onto a different stage and fight against a new opponent. A summary screen will be displayed that shows Life (howmuch health you have remaining), Time (amount of time for the battle), Victory (a bonus for winning). If you lose two out of three, there is a 10second countdown where you can hit start and continue; you do not have to continue playing as the same fighter, the game lets you select someone different to play as if you wish, and you will continue on the same fight pacing that same opponent. If you happen to fight against the same character you are playing as the game gives them a different name and changes their colours to make it easy to distinguish between the two.
