Every third fight is a bonus round known as a Grudge Match.[4] In a Grudge Match, the player must fight against a CPU controlled clone of the fighter if playing alone, or against the other players in a multiplayer game. Getting knocked down three times eliminates a player from the Grudge Match; the winner is the last one standing. Losing the Grudge Match does not eliminate a player, but the winner gets bonus money.

David Wilson of Computer Gaming World approved of the Amiga version, stating that it "is the arcade game teleported", and concluded that the game "offers the two-player option missing in many fighter games and enough roughhousing to suit the most violent gamer".[32]
Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro had previews of a planned sequel, which the former magazine claimed was more than 75% finished and would be released for Sega Genesis in the fourth quarter of 1993.[35][36] Kato, Buzz, and Ty were returning along with three new selectable fighters: Connor (Karate Champion), Tanya (Roller Queen), and Chief (Ex-bodyguard). Those are also three of the playable characters ultimately featured in Atari's subsequent game, Guardians of the 'Hood. Pictures show two CPU fighters, Helga (level 1) and Jay-Jay (level 2).[citation needed]
Most people quickly realize how bad this game is and don't bother to play past the first level. As bad as the designs are for the playable characters and the first boss, it gets worse. The character designs are insane, but the gameplay makes it impossible to enjoy any camp appeal. Thematically, Pit-Fighter is really not based on other fighting games, or even on other video games. At least not as much as it is based on bad 1980s B-level martial arts action movies - those kind of movies where the title is always a variation on "Kick Boxer" or "Bloodsport." The plot in those movies is always the same: a street fighter needs to get revenge on his brother's killer, and the only way to do so is to enter a secret tournament where guys fight in the middle of a circle of cars with their headlights on and women with teased hair sit on the hoods with fists pumping and yell "yeah!" Where every male character wears pants and no shirt, or a tank and sweats. Pit-Fighter is that kind of movie only in video game form. Change "get revenge on his brother's killer" to "win cash" and that is pretty much it. It even has has the generic "pit arena" in the early levels, and then the circle of cars in later levels. The screaming spectators are here as well.
There are three buttons, used for kicking, jumping, and punching. When pressing all three at the same time, the player character executes a special attack. There are a few interesting ideas here that were taken from beat-em-ups. There are occasionally weapons on the ground (like motorcycles!) that the player can attack with. Sometimes even spectators attack the player. Characters can walk into the crowd, but will get shoved back out by crowd members. There are also "Grudge Matches". During these, the goal is to knock down the opponent(s) three times, though loosing these doesn't end the game. Certain enemies have to be fought twice during the course of the game, and Chainman Eddie is fought along with a clone of himself in the level before the final boss. These differences from standard fighters do nothing to save the gameplay, though.
The game's real innovation is bringing three player co-operative play to the fighter genre (although the game plays more like a beat-em-up than anything else). Three players can team up to defeat the game's humorously badly designed boss characters. That's right, up to three people can be bored out of their minds at the same time.
All fights are set in a big stadium, either a properly lit and fully populated one to evoke a big sports event, or bright and empty for a training round. The fighters' health is represented by the spotlights in each upper corner, which get knocked out as the respective combatant grows weaker and weaker. It's not a straight downward spiral, though, as the kick boxers also recover a bit in between rounds and when they can prevent getting hit for a while. If someone does get knocked down, he's counted out and has a chance to get up again, which usually works out once or twice in a match. The amount of rounds for the fight can be determined in the options menu - from a relaxed three to exhausting twelve rounds.
Best of the Best had a much farther reach than the original, as it was ported to all major game consoles at the time. The NES and Game Boy versions replace the training disciplines with some more generic variations on the target kicking and don't allow to freely configure the moves - you're limited to predetermined sets instead. The Genesis and SNES retain the free mixing of techniques, but make practically no use of the many more buttons available to players on these consoles - a major missed opportunity, as the SNES could have supported almost all moves at once (it's not that well documented whether the Genesis' six-button pad was released before or after the game). The 16-bit consoles also introduce some cool new training rounds, where you get to work a heavy bag and do some sparring in the gym. Of course, all these versions came out much later than Street Fighter II, but since it's still essentially the same game as Panza Kick Boxing, there is not Street Fighter DNA in them.
These days, there is a class of professional Pit Fighters in addition to the condemned. They seek excitement and glory in the pit, though most find naught but a brutal death as the crowd howls for their blood. Successful Pit Fighters can become wealthy (from prize money and the rampant gambling that surrounds the sport), allowing slave fighters to buy their freedom.[1a]
The styles of competition are as varied as pit fighters themselves. Fights may take the form of knife, club, or chain fights, boxing matches, or wrestling competitions. Sometimes, victory is awarded to any member of the public who can survive three minutes with a particularly celebrated Pugilist. Outside of the Empire, Gladiators are popular in Tilea, Chain-fighters in Marienburg, and Bear-wrestlers in Kislev.[2a]
There are as many different types of pit fight as there are venues, from small fistfights in an old barn or a back alley, to huge conflicts with many heavily armed combatants. There are vast amounts of money to be made by the illegal gambling cartels and on the sly by the merchant guilds from the pit fights. In the more lawless areas of the Empire, such as around the Cursed City, the pit fights are bigger, more widespread and far more lavish. There are many different types of pit fighter: huge and brutish Ogres; frenzied, fearless Dwarf Troll Slayers and even those unfortunate humans who are sold as pit fighters have many different fighting styles.[3]
Each type of pit fighter is easily recognisable from his armour and weapons which are heavily stylised on the appearance of the Empire's many foes. Close combat specialists wear heavy plates of armour across their shoulders, thick iron gauntlets and heavy greaves. They also wear heavy horned helms that caricature warriors of Chaos, helmets with fake tusks and leering faces akin to Orcs or skull-faced helmets that look like the Undead, while some pit fighters from Tilea wear the spiked harness known as lorica clavita.[6a] The weapons these warriors carry are invariably heavy flails, gauntlets with razor-sharp iron claws like Ghouls and Orc choppas. There are also specialist pit fighters called Pursuers that are based upon the expert light skirmish troops of other races such as Lizardman Skinks or Witch Elves, and their weapons and armour reflect this. They wear very little armour besides a stylised helm and often carry two light swords, a spear and net or several javelins. Unlike the heavy pit fighters, these warriors harry their foes with hit and run attacks, using speed and agility over brute strength.[3]
Most successful pit fighters live for the sport (and, of course, often die for it also!) because they know of little else. Enough pit fighters either earn their freedom or, as is more often the case, escape and form bands of fugitives on the run from their former owners. These bands of outcasts make ideal warbands for hire to those shady characters who wish to explore the ruins of Mordheim. The warriors in a pit fighter warband are very dangerous adversaries indeed even for the most rugged, experienced of mercenaries for they are entirely ruthless and offer no quarter. Pit fighters are especially adept at fighting in close quarters with little room to manoeuvre such as the cluttered streets and ruined houses of Mordheim and this makes them much-feared opponents amongst the denizens and warbands of the Cursed City.[3]
The Department of Defense (DoD) has posted its notice for availability of documents regarding the proposed draft military specification (MILSPEC) for fluorine-free firefighting foam on www.sam.gov (Notice N0002422SN0169). This document is separately undergoing a technical stakeholder review, as prescribed by normal DoD MILSPEC coordination policies.
The release of this draft document is a significant step in the process for meeting the deadline of publishing a new fluorine-free firefighting foam MILSPEC by January 31, 2023, as required by the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. The FAA has been working with the DoD for several years doing testing and research to find an alternative firefighting agent to the current aqueous film-forming foams. The FAA intends to adopt this specification for civil airports once it is published.
Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, charged with the slaying of his wife, is shown here in the courtroom during his 1954 trial. He was convicted of murder, but the Supreme Court overturned that decision saying Sheppard had been denied a fair trial, and the trial judge should have adopted stricter courtroom rules for the news media. The case serves as an example of when First Amendment freedom of the press is pitted against the right to a fair trial. (AP Photo, used with permission from the Associated Press) 2ff7e9595c
