Stieg Hedlund is among the elite among PC developers, having developed the hugely popular Diablo II and Starcraft. He also spent a few years at the Sega Technical Institute, where he worked on games like Comix Zone.

Hacks & Homebrews returns today with a look at a fighter that not only surprises, but impresses.

This one actually plays and sounds better than a few released fighters on the Genesis. Read the full article to get all the details.
