Sometimes a funny catchphrase is all you need to sell a game, but it's important to make sure that this phrase at least makes sense. This is the problem with Virtua Fighter PC, the disappointing port of Sega's arcade smash hit. In this ad we are told that "You fight like a girl" is no longer an insult; instead it is the "ultimate compliment." This would work if the commercial was advertising the Dead or Alive series, or really any other fighter with a bunch of female characters. But Virtua Fighter PC only has one woman combatant. And wouldn't you believe that the one woman in the cast is the person they displayed in this advert.

Unfortunately the problems with this ad don't stop there; we also get a completely ridiculous quote from the magazine, Computer Player. "... One of the best fighters for the PC," they claim. Well of course it is, that's because there weren't many brawlers on the personal computer. Why would you want to play a fighting game on a PC anyway? There is no universally accepted control and fighting games are no fun at all with a keyboard. And how exactly are you supposed to play with a second player?

Continuing this idiotic logic, Virtua Fighter PC also tells you that you will get a full eight dollars off of this game if you trade in one of your other PC CD-ROM arcade fighting games. How many of those are there? Street Fighter made an appearance, but I can't think of too many other "arcade" fighting games on the PC. Sure there was crap like Rise of the Robots, but that wasn't an arcade game. And seriously, you would have to pay me eight dollars just to play this piece of junk. I feel bad for Sega for even attempting to recreate this amazing arcade game on a system that couldn't support it.
