Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. (Arcade)

Bio F.R.E.A.K.S.
Developer: Midway Games Platform: Arcade (Midway Seattle) This game has hidden development-related text.

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

An arcade adaptation of Midway's N64 and PS1 3D fighting game got pretty far into development, but it wasn't able to escape location testing without getting its head lasered off.
