Sega's 1992 hologram-theater versus fighter
The briefing
Holosseum is a Sega fighting game created exclusively for the company's hi-tech hologram theater cabinet. Its title combines “holography” and “colosseum,” reflecting the game's presentation and competitive focus.
Players choose from four fighters, each with a distinct fighting style and special techniques. Matches follow a best-two-out-of-three format, with single-player tournament play against the computer or versus play against another person.
After defeating the other three characters, the player faces a mirror match before continuing through additional randomly arranged fights. Holosseum was developed and published by Sega, with development credited to Sega AM1.
