The Takara King of Fighters engine is an engine originally developed by Gaibrain[1] for Takara's official Game Boy ports of SNK's The King of Fighters '95 and 96' and Real Bout Special games. It was later used by Vast Fame for its series of Game Boy Color fighting games.
The first known pirate game using this engine - and the only one in monochrome - is The King of Fighters '97, a hack of the official The King of Fighters '96 combining the characters from '95 and '96. Vast Fame's subsequent games actually appear to be based on this hack rather than one of Takara's original games.
