Basara no MUGEN Page: Retro Version

MUGEN is an acronymous that comes from japanese word "mugen", that literally means "infinite". It's the best word to represent this fighting games engine. It was created in the end of 90s by the company Elecbyte, and it's without a doubt the most famous engine to create customized fighting games and it's easier to do. It started as a program made for DOS system (more known as DOSMUGEN), which its last version was 2001.04.14, until then, the most used version for this engine followers.

After releasing a Linux version (called LinMUGEN), Elecbyte dissapeared in 2002 without a trace, leaving an alpha of a Windows version that wasn't finished, very limited and only in the hands of betatesters. Time after, that alpha was leaked and modified to be converted into the definitive WinMUGEN version, which has a big success and continued DOSM legacy, releasing various "hacks" that expanded the universe that was MUGEN.

But the King wasn't dead, just came back stronger. In 2009, Elecbyte got back with MUGEN1.0, a more complete version and with a lot of new features, some of them are High Definition as default, new controllers, added the winquotes option and some other advances. Actually, and after made 6 updates (called as "Release Candidate", or RC), Elecbyte actually works in its 1.1 version, which its big advance is the zoom option, one of the big features lacked MUGEN since their beginnings.

With MUGEN you can create the fighting game of your dreams, putting characters from different franchises and companies, and even original characters and/or adaptated from other media like videogames, anime and even TV series) battling one against other as in fighting games. Also you can combine stages, music, lifebars and even motifs (called as "screenpacks") to personalize your game, all of this 100% free and downloadable from internet. And even more, there're tutorials so you can create your own MUGEN content by yourself, with tutorials provided for Elecbyte (it comes with the MUGEN package) as well made by other creators on the net.
