The Eye of Typhoon 極超豪拳, sometimes known in Korea as극초호권 (Kyoku Cho Gou Ken), is a 1996 2D fightingvideo game developed by Viccom. It is the second game Viccom created after Fight Fever, and was shown at the AOU Show in February 1996 as a Neo Geo title, but it was never released; however, during the same year, it was released for the 3DO and MS-DOS operating PCs exclusively in South Korea.

Like Fight Fever, The Eye of Typhoon plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games. There are 12 playable fighters to choose from and two boss characters. The object of the game is to win two matches out of three. Each character has a set of moves in addition to two basic punches and kicks. Players also have the ability to taunt others, but unlike games such as SNK's Art of Fighting series, this has no effect and would actually leave the player open to attacks.
In single player mode, after selecting a character, the player must also select an opponent. The opponent order cycles randomly according to the character select screen. After the first twelve are defeated, the player must defeat two bosses, Powell and Mahesvara. Unlike Fight Fever, there is a 2-on-2 team mode, where players can choose two characters whether in certain order or randomly. The camera also zooms in and out depending on how far apart the characters are, like in the Art of Fighting series.
