About Ultraman

A one-on-one fighting game where Ultraman battles against fierce monsters. Based on the popular television show from 1967, Ultraman directly follows the story of its source material. Cast in the role of the titular Ultraman, the player must defeat many of the same monsters that appeared in the original series. Taking the appearance of a 1-on-1 fighting game, Ultraman can punch, kick, and grapple his opponent, as well as use a variety of various special moves that must be charged. However, in order to actually defeat his opponent, Ultraman must deplete their continually-recharging life bar, and at that moment hit with his most powerful special attack: the Specium Beam. As the game continues, different enemies may even find ways to avoid this most formidable attack, and Ultraman must adapt... Each stage has a time limit of only three minutes, and there are three lives and no continues.

A Japan-only Ultraman fighter that period critics treated as a modest licence cash-in.

Ultraman is a one-on-one fighter based on the Japanese tokusatsu hero, developed by Human Entertainment and published by Ma-Ba. It came out on the Mega Drive in Japan on 9 April 1993 and nowhere else.

Sega Pro's news pages called it a Street Fighter II imitation squeezed onto a small four-megabit cartridge, and said the finished Japanese version differed little from the Super Famicom game it considered dire.

Before you buy

It is a Japanese cart, so it has a different shape from a Western one and needs an adapter or two plastic tabs removed from a Western console's slot. Among Japan-only carts it sits above the middle.
