One of my favorite childhood game by far

Man, so many memories with this game. My dad was a computer programmer back then and got a ton of shareware games from his buddies, OMF being one of them. I remember whenever he played this, my big sister and I wouldn't let him go past the menu screen for quite a while because we were so mesmerized by the music. I also remember somehow unlocking Raven and Pyros (the shareware version only had the top row of pilots along with just Jaguar, Shadow and Thorn mechs available and the only arena you could fight in was Power Plant). I don't know how I did it but I felt so incredibly accomplished then and always played as both of them from that point on.

One of the best fighting games played it for hours back in the days.

Awesome game-alert. I liked Shredder because it was cute and I liked the extending magnetic hands. I used to think that the robots were so big, such that each hand of Shredder had its own pilot. I had mine in a monochrome black and white. I remember having such a hard time with the flail guy with the cyberpunk shades on... Thorn was too slow, and the guy that piloted him was weird. I remember also playing this in the early 2000s and finding about the special moves at the end of the match--all thanks to the magic of the internet. The descriptions were unreal. Imagining punching your robot's fists together with the impact and sound of two trains crashing. That would've been a sight to behold.

This was one of my favorite games as a kid! I would love a reboot of this game!

One of my favorite games growing up. I have been enjoying the game on my steam deck of late.

What a blast from the past! One Must Fall 2097 was really innovative fighting game and was really ahead for its time, i really enjoyed the gameplay, music, story and customization, the fact that we could create our own robot was very epic for a 1994 game!

Just to correct: Jaguar, Shadow, Thorn, and Pyros with the "Nova Code" (the one use use to get nova in 1/2 player in full version). For 1/2 player in shareware. Tournament mode, you can buy any of them once you have enough money and randomly roll them in the buy list. Don't need to beat Raven first, but you're not likely to have enough cash until afterwards.

Indeed. Plus, if you hold down Alt, S and F at the same time on the main menu, then you unlock a sound test in the configuration menu... and you can unlock extra difficulty levels, too, by pressing Right about 20 times when you reach the hardest selectable difficulty level - you unlock Deadly difficulty... and you can unlock Ultimate difficulty by holding down O, M and F at the same time and pressing Right until Deadly switches to Ultimate - not recommended unless you're an OMF god.

How was this game released in 1994. I swear it's still so fucking good and the mechanics genuinely rival current releases. Give this a graphical update, nothing else, and you have a winner.

If he jumps, he reveals himself, making him vulnerable! He can guard while crouching which makes him reveal himself too. Basically, Each time AI picks Pyros, it's a free win.

YO! I remember playing this in a cousins computer room but couldn't remember the name for the life of me. Thank you Google and KZread for the rush of nostalgia. lol Off to DoSbox. lol

Torn about how I want this game to go for the future. On the one hand, with the progression of fighting games these days, seeing a modern OMF with the same bells and whistles such as advanced graphics, modernized designs, fleshed-out characters, a story mode, etc., would be cool to see. It would be unique since we don't currently have a robot fighting game. On the other hand, OMF has been free for decades. Making it require payment now would be a dick move.
