Breakers

Overview

Breakers is a 2D fighting game developed and released by Visco for arcades (running Neo Geo MVS hardware) on December 17, 1996. It was later released for home consoles (exclusive to Japan) in March 21, 1997 (for the Neo Geo) and in April 25, 1997 (for the Neo Geo CD).

The game later received an updated version, titled Breakers Revenge, on July 3, 1998.
