Years later, I’ve included this for the flame-based attacks such as the flamethrower in Super Space Galaxy. Getting the Pyros was an exciting milestone for me because in the shareware version, you could only use one by winning the tournament. It's not really special and it's not related to 2097, but it's good to know where it all started. One detail I remember vividly from the game it the way the Pyros mech’s flame attacks could make robots glow orange, as though they were heating up. A definite must for every fan of the genre In the extras section you can find the first One Must Fall's beta version (or demonstration version), which was never released to the public as a complete game. One Must Fall 2097 has inspired my own games in a few different ways. Of course, nowadays you can simply look those things up on the internet, which makes the guide rather a relic of the past. Some versions of the game also came with a printed Strategy Guide that featured all the special moves and combos. These are for-real pictures of the manual I own. After all, One Must Fall is about robots too. It’s easy to assume that the game’s creators watched the Transformers movie in 1986, then remembered Optimus Prime’s legendary line when they were thinking of titles for the game. One shall stand, one shall fall! Optimus Prime
