The original set had 342 cards plus 6 promo cards.[2] The premise of the game had players trying to overthrow the Ultratech corporation by recruiting fighters and winning the Killer Instinct tournament.[3]
Publication historyedit
It was first released in June 1996.[2][4] The game was Nintendo's first foray into CCGs.[2] The cards were marred by low-resolution graphics pulled directly from the video game.[2] The 363-card set[5] was sold in 60-card starter decks and 12-card booster packs.[6]: 15–16 [7]
Receptionedit
In a review published in the December 1996 issue of The Duelist, Allen Varney states that Killer Instinct is an "excellent debut card game" for Topps.[5] He also states that it has a "clever design" that will be enjoyable to a general audience, but especially to fans of the video game or the genre of tactical fighting video games.[5] Varney did not like the computer-generated art, though he stated it allowed for consistency with screen captures from the video game used as art in the game.[5] He was critical of "the cheesy T&A exploitation art on the booster boxes".[5]
