World Heroes

World Heroes is a 1992 arcade fighter where a scientist's time machine pulls eight warriors from different eras into a tournament. You pick one—samurai, ninja, martial artist, or other period-specific combatant—and fight through the roster using each character's distinct move set. Matches take place across stages themed to various historical periods. Combat relies on standard fighting game inputs: special moves, throws, and positioning. The game includes both single-player tournament mode and versus play. It's straightforward one-on-one fighting with a time-travel premise as the hook. If you want early '90s arcade brawling with a roster that spans history rather than a single setting, this delivers that without overcomplicating the formula.
