A Historical Smackdown
(click to enlarge)
Here’s a ridiculously awesome concept for a game that sadly has yet to come to pass. It imagines a historical fighter where you can square off famous leaders of the past. Here we see a laser sword/pistol wielding George Washington fighting a jet-fist powered Hitler. You can imagine other players that we could see here as well.
– Lincoln with his Axe
– Churchill with E. Honda sumo moves
– Genghis Khan with scimtars
– Ghandi with Dhalsim moves
– Kim Jong Il with poorly functioning rockets
You get the idea. Add your own in the comments.

Perhaps hidden character: Chuck Norris with a BB gun
How about Ben Franklin with Raiden powers?
i believe there is a game like that out already called Deadliest Warrior. puts famous people from history against each other
@Shadow you’re right, Deadliest warrior put out 2 XBox Live and PSN games, the first one was generic fighters from different time periods and the second had actual historical figures
Okay. ALL of you are forgetting the single most powerful fighter, the final boss of the universe; Theodore Roosevelt riding a bear.
Don’t forget Teddy Roosevelt with his Big Stick.
Also, Andrew Jackson with his cane, and Alexander Burr with some dueling pistols
Nikola Tesla with electricity powers!
FDR, whose wheelchair becomes power armor
Sun Tzu with the ability to be not be where his opponent thinks he is.
Walter white with a bike lock.
Cleopatra with nipples that shoot lasers or Bin Laden with the power to go invisible.
Ben Laden power: He can hide behind a rock….
Martin Luther King fights like the comic book hero Blade 🙂
Sun Tzu, Bruce Lee, Micheal Jackson, Dillinger, Al Capone and the boss would an amped up Cleopatra
A giant Caesar with miniature armies about him that shoot thousands of tiny arrows.
