Fur Fighters, a [[Cult Classic]] of a videogame developed for the Dreamcast in 2000 and then later ported to the [[PS 2]] in 2001. We say cult classic because nobody bought the game despite it receiving very good reviews and being very funny. Think [[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Conkers Bad Fur Day]] and you'll understand the general vibe of the game but with less "adult" humour.

The game saw the player take control over 6 characters, five of who have retired from a special military squad and one who is the child of a member, as they attempt to save the kidnapped babies from the [[Big Bad]] General Viggo. As if kidnapping the 100's of babies wasn't bad enough Viggo also kidnapped their spouses and have transformed them into mutant monstrosities and is using them to conquer the world in true super-villain fashion.
