Queen Fighter 2000, also known as Gals Fighters and Queen of Fighting 2000 (女王格鬥2000), is an unlicensed Game Boy Color game produced in 2000 by Vast Fame. It's an all-female fighting game based off of SNK's Gals' Fighters title for the Neo Geo Pocket Color and is Vast Fame's first "original" fighter (their previous one, Super Fighters S, is a hack of an official The King of Fighters game.)

Gameplay

The game itself uses Takara's fighting engine for their The King of Fighters games. The game has difficulty settings, a sound test, single player team and one-on-one matches and multiplayer. There are 16 fighters to choose from, although the ending for each is the same.

Character Bases

Most, if not all, of the fighters in this game are based off of the graphics taken from official NGPC fighting games, despite the new designs. They animate and play mostly the same, but the overhauled looks were a first for the company's fighting games, and easily the most ambitious. All of the listed characters have their base character and game the graphics are from.

• A-Mi: Shermie (Gals' Fighters)
• Kelly: Yuri (Gals' Fighters)
• Rina: King (Original)

Trivia

• Music from this game has either been reused or unused-but-present in V.Fame's later fighting games Soul Falchion and Super Fighters 2001 Alpha. Also, Soul Falchion contains leftover win portraits hidden away inside the game's ROM.
• Two of the characters from this game, Cio and Dina, made guest appearances in Super Fighters 2001 Alpha. Unfortunately, the other characters aren't present (the idea was probably abandoned early in development.)
