Tattoo Assassins

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

Tattoo Assassins was created in response to the enormous success of Mortal Kombat II and has many of the weirdest Fatalities ever seen along with the ever-infamous Nudalities...but otherwise doesn't have much going for it.

The game's development didn't turn out as well as hoped (one problem being that Data East inexplicably had its pinball division make this), and it was scrapped before being finished. Only a few machines survive, but a ROM image can easily be found online.

To do: There's unused lines of things that the characters wouldn't say.

By changing the character value to 0E or beyond, the game displays this... weird static image. The player also has control of the 2nd player.
