Ultra Vortek on Wikipedia

Ultra Vortek is a fighting game developed by Beyond Games and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar in North America and Europe on September 5, 1995. It was the second fighting game released for the Jaguar after Kasumi Ninja and unsuccessfully sought to capitalize on the trend of violent fighting games started by Midway Games's Mortal Kombat in 1992. It was the only officially released game that supports the unreleased Jaguar Voice Modem peripheral for online play.

The Jaguar's better fighting game — with online code for a modem that never shipped.

Beyond Games earned the job on BattleWheels for the Lynx, and founder Kris N. Johnson programmed and co-designed this himself: seven fighters, sharper digitized sprites than Kasumi Ninja, better animation, and a control system that rewards practice. Competent — which on this platform is a real distinction. It still arrived the same season as the PlayStation's North American launch, against Tekken.

The peripheral hook: this is the only released game supporting the Jaguar Voice Modem — a 19.9 kbit/s dial-up unit announced at CES 1994, then cancelled after roughly 100 units were produced. There is functional online multiplayer code in this cartridge that essentially nobody on Earth can use.

Before you buy

Moderately common but scarcer than Kasumi Ninja; modest premium over the 1994 commons. Cataloguing note: it was released under both "Ultra Vortek" and "Ultra Vortex" — search both spellings or you'll miss listings.
