You like to fight? Dare you step into the ring with SNK?

In 1990 SNK launched their first hardware that was focused on the home market. During the 80's SNK produced some memorable Arcade titles like;

Ikari Warriors, Psycho Soldier, P.O.W.

But it was after the relase of their first home system they got a real breakthrough on the market. The games were exact ports of the arcade MVS cartridges. The system was a bit pricey for it's time, but the hardware was the same hardware as the MVS units.
