The so-called "fighting" means fighting in Cantonese. Marti Wong, who developed the game in 1995 and studied at Chinese University in Hong Kong, developed the game himself under the influence of fighting games such as Street Fighter. The official name of this work is "Little Fighter", and it was later translated as "Little Fighter" after it was transmitted to the mainland.

By pressing the different arrow keys and clicking on the attack, defense, and jump buttons, players can pull out different skills. However, the original content has strict control over the blue cost of skills, so most of the time the confrontation between players is still dominated by hand-to-hand combat.
Some players may have questions at this time? said that the skills of "Children Fight Together 2" in his memory can be put casually like no money, and there are even nirvana skills. The reason for this situation is not that there is a problem with everyone's memory, but that the game has been changed by pirate manufacturers after it was transmitted to the mainland.

In addition to the outstanding gameplay content, the support for multiplayer games is also a major reason for the popularity of "Children Fight 2". At a time when multiplayer online gaming was still in its infancy and gaming equipment was a luxury item in its own right, this game supports up to four players in local play. In a microcomputer class, the situation of four people and eight hands operating a keyboard is real.
After 25 years, "Kids Fight 2 Remastered" has landed on Steam, awakening the dusty memories of countless players. The game supports local 8-player LAN connection, and new characters will be added all the time. On the basis of retaining the gameplay of the original game, the graphics have been renovated and new levels have been added.
