Ever heard of Tattoo Assassins? It's okay if you haven't. The game was a bust, an attempted cash-in by Data East Pinball to get a slice of the crowded 2-player fighting game market in the mid-90s. It featured digitized graphics a la Mortal Kombat, with a "fatality" count that made Midway's fighter pale in comparison.

The only problem? The game kinda sucked. I've only seen it in person at one arcade—Playland—in central Pennsylvania where it was installed for no more than a month. One look at this video will show you why. Michael McWhertor
